Mrs. C. Phillips was acknowledged as the source of the recipe, but no times or yield were given. I have guesstimated them w/a *heavy accent on the guess* part of the word, but the real bottom line is the yield depends on the size you choose to make & how you view the # of servings. *Enjoy*. Ingredients:
2 cups granulated sugar |
1 cup evaporated milk |
1 cup granulated sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla |
2 1/2 cups pecans (chopped, may use plain or toasted) |
2 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Place 2 cups sugar & milk in a lrg saucepan. Cook slowly, stirring often.
2. At the same time, put other cup of sugar in a 2nd saucepan on low heat & stir till melted.
3. Pour 2nd mixture slowly into the sugar & milk that should be read to boil & stir while adding.
4. Cook slowly till a firm ball forms when dropped into cold water (238°) & remove from heat.
5. Add vanilla, pecans & butter. Stir till mixture begins to thicken.
6. To avoid sticking as experienced by the 1st reviewer using waxed paper which was given as an option - drop by spoonfuls in desired size onto a lightly sprayed baking sheet or buttered cookie sheet (candies should set up immediately).
