-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 c Sugar
1 c Brown sugar
1/2 lb Butter
2 c Evaporated milk
1/2 lb Butter
5 c Pecans -- chopped
1 pn Salt
1 ts Vanilla
Place milk, 1/2 lb butter, both sugars and salt in a large heavy
pan. Bring to boil, cook to "softball stage" (this is very hard,
you MUST use a candy thermometer.) Remove from heat and add 1/2 lb
butter. Beat constantly. When you feel it begin to thicken, add
pecans and vanilla. When thick quickly drop by teaspoon on greased
surface or foil. Leave 2 to 3" between each as they will flatten
out. Remember this candy is stirred constantly while being cooked
and beaten constantly when removed from the fire.
