List of Ingredients




1/2 cup plain yogurt
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 tsp. light corn syrup
2 tbs. butter
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
8 oz. pecan halves (about 2 cups)




Recipe



Separate raisins, if necessary. In medium bowl, toss raisins with confectioners' sugar until coated. Set aside. In a large, heavy saucepan, stir together yogurt, sugar and corn syrup. Place over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and reaches 223° on a candy thermometer, about 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat; add butter and stir until melted. Add maple flavoring; stir rapidly 1 minute. Add reserved raisins; mix until well coated. Pour mixture
onto large baking sheet. Working quickly, use wooden spoon to separate raisins into clusters. Let cool thoroughly. Store in airtight container.
Yield 4 cups
(For Pecan variation) Cook the yogurt mixture as described in instructions for raisins, adding pecans in place of raisins. They need not be coated with confectioners' sugar as the raisins do.
