Pecan Brittle - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 1/2 tsp. soda
    1 tsp. vanilla
    1 tsp. water
    1 1/2 c. sugar
    1 c. water
    1 c. light corn syrup
    3 Tbsp. margarine
    2 c. pecans
Preparation
    Butter a baking sheet-keep warm.
    Combine soda, 1 teaspoon water and vanilla; set aside.
    Combine sugar, water and the corn syrup in large saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, to 240\u00b0 on a candy thermometer (or to the soft ball stage).
    Stir in butter and pecans.
    Cook, stirring constantly to 300\u00b0 (or to crack stage). Immediately remove from heat: stir in soda mixture thoroughly; pour into warmed, buttered baking sheet and quickly spread evenly, as thin as possible.
    Cool.
