- Slowly add vanilla extract, and pour onto buttered baking sheet. If using a saucepan on the cook top, bring mixture to a boil, stirring slowly. Cook until mixture reaches 295 to 310 degrees F on a candy thermometer.

- In meantime, in batter bowl combine white chocolate, cream, and jam. Microwave on HIGH for 30 seconds.
- Stir. Microwave another 30 to 40 seconds, or until the mixture has melted. Spread over toffee.
