I'd like to try and make Vanilla Fudge and found this recipe - only, I don't know whether I can get corn syrup. Can I leave it out or use another syrup? Also, light cream, what's that? I'd use the cream you can whip.

Here's the recipe

Vanilla Fudge

2 Tablespoons butter
3 cups sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup, red or blue label
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup light cream
1/2 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup coarsely chopped nuts

Place all ingredients except vanilla and nuts in saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, to 238 degrees F or until small amount forms a soft ball in cold water. Remove from heat. Add vanilla. Cool to lukewarm, 110 degrees F. Beat until fudge begins to thicken and loses its gloss. Add nuts. Quickly spread mixture into buttered 8-inch square pan. Cut into squares.
