Candy - Pecan Brittle

2 cups sugar
3 cups pecan pieces
3/4 cup white corn syrup
1/4 cup water
3 tsp. baking soda

Combine all ingredients except baking soda in heavy pan or skillet.  Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until candy thermometer registers 290 degrees.  Stir in baking soda quickly; the mixture will foam up.  Pour onto greased cookie sheet and spread out with spatula.  Allow to cool thoroughly, about two hours.  Then break into pieces.  Store in air-tight containers.  Makes approx 1-1/4 lbs.
