Pecan Caramel Clusters
1 cup cream -- light
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons margarine
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups pecans -- chopped
6 ounces chocolate chips
Heat the light cream in a heavy 2-quart saucepan to lukewarm (110degrees
F.). Reserve 1/2 c cream and set it aside. Add the sugar, corn syrup and
salt to the remaining 1/2 cup of cream in the saucepan. Cook over medium
heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture boils. Slow stir in the
reserved cream. Cook, stirring constantly, for 5 minutes. Stir in the
margarine, 1 tsp at a time, stirring constantly. Cook over low heat,
stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches the soft ball stage, (234
Degrees F.) on the Desserts thermometer. Remove from the heat and stir in
the vanilla. Arrange the pecans on a waxed-paper lined baking sheet. Drop
the mixture by teaspoonfuls onto the pecans. As the clusters cool, remove
with a metal spatula to another waxed-paper lined baking sheet. Push the
remaining pecans together and repeat until all of the Desserts mixture is
used. If the mixture becomes too thick, heat over low heat. Melt the
chocolate chips over hot water.
