PECAN PRALINES

• 2 cup  Sugar
• 1/2 cup  Light corn syrup
• 1/2 cup  Water
• 2 cup  Pecan halves
• 1/4 cup  Butter
• 1 Tsp  Vanilla

   Heat the sugar, syrup, water, and pecans in a heavy saucepan until the sugar is disolved. Bring the mixture to the boil, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the soft ball stage (240F).
   Remove the saucepan from the heat and add butter and vanilla. Allow candy to cool.
   Whip until the mixture gradually changes to an opaque color and becomes creamy. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a buttered cookie sheet and allow to harden. Makes two dozen.
