Recipe - Caramel Fudge

6 cup Sugar, divided
2 cup Light cream
One fourth teaspoon Baking soda
One half cup Butter or margarine
8 One half cup (2 lbs.) pecans, broken

The flavor of this golden brown fudge comes from the caramelized sugar.

2 cups sugar in a heavy 10inch skillet over medium heat. Stir sugar

heat. Continue melting sugar in skillet, stirring and watching closely so
it does not scorch. As soon as it is completely melted, por liquid sugar in
