   2      cups          chopped pecans
   2      tablespoons   butter or margarine -- melted
   2      cups          sugar -- divided
   6                    eggs -- beaten
   1      12oz can      evaporated milk
   1      5oz can       evaporated milk
   1 1/3  cups          milk
   1      14oz can      sweetened condensed milk
   1      tablespoon    vanilla extract
   2      cups          whipping cream -- whipped


Sauté pecans in butter, stirring constantly, about 5 minutes
       or until toasted. Set aside to cool.

       Combine 1 cup sugar, eggs, evaporated milk, and milk in a
       large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly,
       20 minutes or until mixture reaches 160 degrees (do not
       boil). Remove from heat; let cool. Stir in sweetened
       condensed milk and vanilla. Cover and chill at least 1 hour.
       Fold in whipped cream.

       Place remaining 1 cup sugar in a small saucepan; cook over
       medium heat, stirring mixture constantly, until sugar
       dissolves and forms a smooth liquid. Stir in the sauteed
       pecans. (Mixture may form lumps.)

       Stir pecan mixture into custard; break apart pecan lumps.

       Pour into freezer can of a 5-quart hand-turned or electric
       freezer. Freeze according to manufacturer's instructions.
       Let ripen at least 1 hour.
