    Recipe Introduction


    Exported from MasterCook

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup buttermilk
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    2 cups sugar
    2 tablespoons light corn syrup
    1/4 cup butter or margarine
    1 cup chopped pecans

    Recipe



    Combine buttermilk and baking soda in 3-qt. heavy saucepan. Let stand 20 minutes. Add sugar and corn syrup to buttermilk. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar is dissolved. When mixture boils, add butter and cook, stirring occasionally if necessary, to the soft ball stage (236'-238')-it will turn a medium brown color. Remove from heat and cool to lukewarm (110'). Beat until mixture loses its gloss and starts to thicken. Stir in pecans. Turn into buttered 8-in. square pan. Cool until firm; then cut in 36 pieces.

    Description: "Try this country relative of fudge and see why it's so popular."
