Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
- 3 cups sugar
- 1 can (16 ounces) crushed pineapple, drained
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon light corn syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions
- Line an 8-in. square dish with foil. Using 1 tablespoon butter, grease the foil and the sides of a heavy large saucepan. Add the sugar, pineapple, cream and corn syrup to the saucepan. Cook and stir over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 234° (soft-ball stage).
