   Recipe by: Los Angeles Times Melt butter over medium heat in large, heavy
   saucepan. Stir in sugar and half and half. Heat, uncovered, stirring
   occasionally, until sugar dissolves. Insert candy thermometer into mixture,
   being carefully not to touch bottom of pan. Continue cooking until
   thermometer reaches 280 degrees, moving wooden spoon across bottom of pan
   occasionally, but not stirring. Remove pan from heat. When bubbling
   subsides, add vanilla, stirring just enough to blend. Pour into

   Store airtight. Makes about 1 pound.
