Pecan Brittle

1 cup sugar
1 cup pecans
½ cup white syrup
1 pinch salt
1 teasp butter
1 teasp vanilla extract
1 teasp baking soda


Stir sugar, pecans, syrup, and salt well in a very large glass bowl. Microwave on high 2 minutes, then stir.

Microwave 2 more minutes on high, then add butter and vanilla and stir well.

Microwave 2 more minutes on high, then stir in the baking soda really quickly.

When the mixture is foamy and white, pour it into a buttered pizza pan. Let cool (about 1 hour) and then break into smaller pieces.

As microwave ovens become stronger, the cooking times have been adjusted. Please continue to adjust as necessary.
