       2 c  Sugar
       1 c  Buttermilk
       1 ts Baking soda
     1/4 ts Cinnamon; or more
       1 c  Pecans; chopped
       1 ts Mexican vanilla
  
      Use large heavy pan with handle.  Bring sugar, buttermilk, soda,
   cinnamon to a boil over medium to medium-high heat. Stir constantly with a
   wooden spoon. Boil to soft ball stage or 234~ on candy thermometer. Remove
   from heat.  Add pecans, vanilla, and stir wildly until candy looses its
   shine, about 10 minutes. Drop on waxed paper. Makes about 18 candies. Once
   it loses its sheen, you must work fast or it will set up.
