2 cups sugar |
1 cup buttermilk |

2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine |

2 cups pecan pieces |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
Directions:
1. Combine first 5 ingredients in a heavy saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring gently until sugar dissolves. Add pecans; cover and cook over medium heat 2 to 3 minutes to wash down sugar crystals down from side of the pan.
