Georgia Pecan Candy

__NOTOC__
== Description ==
* Yield: about 24 candies, depending on size.
== Ingredients ==
* 1 cup	light brown sugar
* ½ cup	white sugar
* ½ cup	heavy cream
* 2 tbsp white corn syrup
* ⅛ tsp	salt
* 3 tbsp butter
* 1 tsp	pure vanilla or 1 tsp	cognac vanilla
* 2 cup	large pecan halves
== Directions ==
# Put sugars, cream, corn syrup, salt and 2 tbsp of the butter in a bowl.
# Mix until sugars are saturated with cream.
# Put in a heavy pan over medium heat.
# Stir occasionally and wipe down crystals from the sides of the pan with a small, damp piece of cloth wrapped around the handle of a wooden spoon, or put a lid on the pan and allow the steam to evaporate the crystals.
# Cook syrup until it registers 236°F.
# On a candy thermometer or a teaspoon of the syrup dropped in cold water forms a soft ball.
# Remove from heat and add remaining butter and vanilla.
# When the candy has cooled to 110°F., beat it until it begins to lose its transparency.
# Add nuts.
# Drop by tablespoonfuls on a buttered marble or pastry sheet in the form of clusters.
# Let cool and store in a tight tin.
