DATE NUT ROLL 2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup heavy (whipping) cream 1 cup milk 1 cup chopped dates 1 cup chopped nuts 1 teaspoon vanilla
In a saucepan, cook sugar, cream and milk to 236 degrees F on a candy thermometer, stirring occasionally to prevent burning and boiling over. Stir in dates, nuts and vanilla. Cool in pan or pour out on a marble slab. When cool enough to handle, about 150 degrees F, work with a paddle or spatula until creamy. Form into 3 rolls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter and wrap tightly in waxed paper or plastic wrap and chill. When firm, slice into 1/4-inch discs and store in a tightly covered container.
