You will be given a definition of a task first, then an example. Follow the example to solve a new instance of the task.
In this task, you have to identify the named entities (NER) which are the ingredients required given its directions. Named entities are the names of the items without their quantity.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees., Boil syrup, sugar and shortening over medium heat, stirring constantly., Remove from heat., Gradually stir in flour and nuts., Drop by teaspoonfuls about 3 inches apart on lightly greased cookie sheet., Bake 5 to 6 min., Remove from oven and let stand 5 min, before removing from sheet., May be rolled into cylindrical shape while still hot., If cooled too much, return to oven for a minute., Yield: 4 dozen cookies.
Solution: flour, nuts, corn syrup, shortening, brown sugar
Why? This is a good example, as we see the NER is generated correctly from the directions.

New input: In a 3-quart stainless steel saucier, combine water, sugar, and salt over medium heat. If you like, add an empty vanilla pod, too. Stir with a fork until syrup comes to a boil, about 4 minutes, then simmer without stirring until syrup is honey-colored, roughly 6 minutes, shaking and swirling as needed to ensure even caramelization. Continue cooking until syrup is light to medium amber, a minute more. Immediately add cream and reduce heat to medium-low., Stirring constantly with a heat-resistant spatula to knock back the foam, simmer until caramel registers 225F (107C) on a digital thermometer, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a heat-resistant container, stir in vanilla extract (if using), and cool to room temperature. (No need to discard the vanilla bean; it will continue to infuse the caramel over time.) Caramel will be runny while warm, but thicken as it cools, turning just a little chewy when cold. Refrigerate up to 1 month in an airtight container.
Solution:
water, sugar, salt, vanilla, heavy cream, vanilla
