Panocha

Good, old-fashioned brown sugary fudge.

2 cups light brown sugar
2 tablespoons light Karo® syrup
3/4 cup milk
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans

Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, milk and salt in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Continue cooking, without stirring, until mixture reaches soft ball stage (240°F on candy thermometer). Remove from heat.

Add butter and vanilla to the mixture and allow to cool at room temperature, without stirring, until temperature on candy thermometer drops to 110°F (barely warm to the touch).

Beat until candy thickens and begins losing its gloss. Stir in pecans.

Quickly spread in buttered pan and cut into squares.
