Pecan Praline Candy

In a saucepan, combine sugar, cream, and vanilla.

Cook on moderate heat for about 15 minutes; slowly bring to a boil.

Add butter. Keep stirring until caramel is golden. Drop some of the mixture in a bowl of ice-cold water. If it forms a ball, the candy's ready.

Fold in pecans and a pinch of salt; stir until pecans are well coated. Pour candy mixture into a greased pan. Cool, cut, munch!
