      Title: Candied Pecans
 Categories: Nuts, Herbs
      Yield: 1 Pound

  2 3/4 c  Pecan halves
      2 tb Butter; softened, divided
      1 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  Water
    1/2 ts Salt
    1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
      1 ts Vanilla extract

  Place pecans in a shallow baking pan in a 250°F/121°C
  oven for 10 minutes or until warmed. Grease a 15x10x1" baking pan
  with 1 tb butter; set aside.

  Grease the sides of a large heavy saucepan with remaining 1 tb
  butter; add sugar, water, salt, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil,
  stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. Cover; cook 2 minutes to
  dissolve any sugar crystals that may form on the sides of pan.

  Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 236°F
  (soft-ball stage). Remove from the heat; add vanilla. Stir in warm
  pecans until evenly coated.

  Spread onto prepared baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring
  every 10 minutes. Spread on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet to
  cool.
