Plantation Pralines

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 (8-ounce) carton commercial sour cream
• 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
• Dash of salt
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 1/2 cups pecan pieces

1. Combine sugar, sour cream, syrup, and salt in a medium size heavy saucepan. Slowly bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Cover and continue to cook 2 to 3 minutes to wash down sugar crystals from sides of pan. Uncover and cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches soft ball stage (234u0b0).
2. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Beat with a wooden spoon until mixture is creamy and begins to thicken. Stir in pecans. Quickly drop candy by rounded tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper; let cool. Remove from waxed paper, and store in an airtight container.
