Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

3 c Sugar 3/4 c White Corn Syrup
1 ts Baking Soda 2 tb Butter
1 Pinch of Salt 2 c Pecan Halves
1 c Buttermilk

In a large saucepan, (5 or 6 Quart size) combine sugar, baking soda,

hard, return to heat and add small amount of water. Stir until
smooth. Yield: 44 to 48 Pralines. *** Variation ***
