30 3 33

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 cup butter, divided
  • 2 cups evaporated milk
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 4 cups chopped pecans

Directions

  • Grease four baking sheets with 2 tablespoons butter; set aside.
  • In a large heavy saucepan, combine the milk, sugars, corn syrup, salt and remaining butter. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Cook over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 238° (soft-ball stage), stirring occasionally.
