Hi, Nancy, I really look forward to your newsletter every day.
Thanks for all you do.
This is for Mary W , who in your 7-6-09

2 tb Rum
2 c Sugar
1/3 c Milk
1/3 c Half and half
2 tb Light corn syrup
2 tb Rum
2 tb Butter
Butter a 9x5x3 loaf pan. Mix raisins and 2 tb rum;
reserve. Cook remaining ingredients except butter
in 3-qt. saucepan over medium heat, stirring
occasionally to 234° on candy thermometer. Remove from heat; stir in
butter. Cool without stirring to 120°. Beat vigorously and
continuously with spoon or heavy electric mixer 5-10 minutes or
until candy is thick and no longer glossy. (Mixture will hold its
shape when dropped from a spoon) Quickly stir in raisin-rum mixture.
