Directions
1. Make Basic Penuche: Combine sugars, butter, salt and milk in a large, heavy saucepan.
2. Heat, stirring constantly, just until sugar dissolves, then cook rapidly to 240° on a candy thermometer. (Syrup forms a soft ball when it's dropped into cold water.)
3. Cool in pan on rack to 110°.
4. Beat 8 to 10 minutes, or until light in color and very thick. (It will still be glossy.) Pour into a buttered, 8x8x2-inch pan; cool.
5. Make Basic Divinity: Combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a medium-size, heavy saucepan. Heat, stirring constantly, to boiling. (Wrap a fork in damp paper toweling and wipe sugar crystals from side of pan as mixture heats.)
6. Cook rapidly to 260° on candy tard cups. Brush lightly over the "fruits" to tint. Roll the strawberries in red decorating sugar for texture and use whole cloves for stems of fruit. Let stand again until dry. Store in refrigerator.
