COCONUT CANDY PATTIES
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 cup light cream
1 cup Baker's fine-grated coconut*
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup butter
Pecan halves (for garnish)
Combine the sugars, corn syrup, and cream in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Continue to boil gently, without stirring, until a small amount of mixture forms a soft ball in cold water (or to a temperature of 234 degrees F). Remove from heat.
Add coconut, vanilla, and butter to the sugar mixture. Do not stir. Cool to lukewarm (120 degrees F) without stirring. Then stir to blend ingredients.
Quickly drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper. Press a pecan half onto each pattie and allow to stand until firm, about 3 hours. Wrap in waxed paper to store.
*If Fine-grated coconut isn't available, chop regular packaged coconut or whirl it in a blender.
Makes about 3 dozen patties
