So you Salt before salting again? I’d be scared to over do it.

It's incredibly simple. When I first tried I kept getting hung up on the whole softball stage thing. After a few batches you are able to judge when they're ready without any testing.

3 cups pecans
3 cups white sugar
1.5 cups brown sugar
1.5 cups butter
1 cup milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Put it all in a pot and cook over medium high. Once it's starts bubbling and boiling reduce to low/medium low and keep cooking until it cooks down and thickens. It's usually like 12-15. Then turn the heat off and stir for a few more minutes. Done.

Just finished 2nd batch of fudge

if that’s you you kinda do look like zappa.
I just finished a poule d’eau pot pie for tomorrow and we are now getting buzzed before we attempt the paella
