Total Time: 25 Minutes, Servings: 36 Servings
Ingredients :
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 3 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp butter
Instructions :
- Line 2 large baking sheets with waxed paper and set aside.
- In a large (5 qt or larger) pot, bring the buttermilk, sugar, corn syrup, baking soda and salt to a boil over medium heat.
- Stir continuously until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture reaches 236F (soft ball stage).
- Note that the baking soda causes the mixture to foam and rise as it begins to boil so be careful.
- Once the mixture has reached the softball stage, remove from heat and stir in pecans, vanilla, and butter.
- Beat by hand until the mixture begin to hold it's own shape. It will be thick and creamy. This can take awhile. It helps to have a partner in the kitchen to hand this task off to 🙂
- Once the mixture thickens, quickly drop by spoonfuls onto the waxed paper to. Let cool.
- Store in airtight containers for up to 2 weeks.
