["3 c. sugar", "1/2 tsp. cream of tartar", "1 c. water", "pecans, shelled and nut meats in perfect halves"]
["In a saucepan, combine sugar, tartar and water; stir as mixture heats until sugar dissolves.", "Wipe away any sugar crystals that may form on the side when dripped from a spoon.", "Using a long, sharp pin, dip pecan halves, one at a time, into glaze and place on a buttered dish.", "Work fast for glaze hardens rapidly. Dates, almonds, Brazil nuts, Malaga grapes, orange sections and even violets may be treated in this way."]
