AUNT BILL'S CANDY
6 cups sugar, divided use
2 cups evaporated milk
1 Tbsp. Karo light corn syrup
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter or margarine
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups pecans
Put 2 cups sugar in skillet over low heat and melt gradually. Stir with spoon until it caramelizes.
While sugar caramelizes, place remaining 4 cups sugar, evaporated milk and corn syrup in large saucepan. Bring to boil. When sugar is caramelized, pour in thin stream into boiling syrup mixture, stirring constantly. After the two mixtures are combined, continue cooking over medium heat until a firm ball is formed when dropped in cold water.
Remove from heat, add chipped butter and baking soda. Stir only until butter melts. Cool undisturbed for 20 minutes.
Add vanilla and nuts and beat until thick and creamy. Pour into buttered pan.
