Great-Grandma Cathy's Date Loaf Candy

Ingredients:
sugars, granulated
milk, fluid, 1% fat, without added vitamin a and vitamin d
butter, without salt
dates, deglet noor
nuts, pecans
vanilla extract

Directions:
Stir sugar, milk, and butter together in a saucepan; bring to a boil without stirring once the boiling begins.
Heat until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a rigid ball or until the mixture reaches 250 degrees F (120 degrees C), about 20 minutes.
Immediately remove saucepan from heat and stir dates, pecans, and vanilla into the milk mixture.
Thoroughly wet a piece of cheesecloth and lay out onto a flat work surface.
Pour the candy mixture into the middle of the cloth and roll the cloth around it to shape into a log.
Refrigerate until hard, 8 hours to overnight.
Remove log from cloth and slice.
