MARY LUE'S PECAN CARAMELS
 
Ingredients
  • 2 c. sugar
  • 1 c. butter
  • 2 c. white Karo syrup
  • 1 qt. chopped pecans
  • 1 pt. whipping cream (two ½ pts.)
  • 1 pinch of salt
Instructions
  1. Mix together sugar, butter, syrup and 1 cup cream. Let come to big boil. Add other cup cream and pinch of salt, gradually, so that mixture does not stop boiling. Cook (in heavy pan) to 240 degrees on candy thermometer, stirring constantly at lower heat (about 1 hour). Take off heat and add nuts.
  2. Pour into greased 9x13 inch pan and let cool. Cut into 1 x 1-1/2 inch pieces and wrap each in waxed paper, twisting ends to seal.
