Pecan Pralines

1 1/2 cup sugar

1/2 cup brown sugar (light)

1/2 cup evaporated milk (or half and half)

1/2 cup Karo syrup

Place ingredients in heavy sauce pan. Cook over medium

heat, stirring often. At 220 degrees, stir in 2 cups pecan halves.

Continue cooking to 240 degrees on thermometer.

Take from heat, and add 1/3 stick real butter and 1 1/2 tsp good quality vanilla

and a dash of salt. Mix well.

Cool for 10 minutes, then stir until mixture thickens and begins to lose

transparency. Quickly make patties by dropping with serving spoon onto waxed paper.

Let cool. Store airtight.
