Directions

Ingredients :

2 cups brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons light corn syrup

¼ teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ cup chopped pecans

Butter an 8×8 inch square dish.

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, white sugar, cream, corn syrup and salt. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
