Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan mix sugar, salt, water, corn syrup and vinegar. Bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Lower the heat and allow to boil 3 minutes without stirring. Remove from the heat and allow to rest 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chocolate, stir until melted, add the pecans and stir again.

  2. Using a measuring spoon, drop mixture by the tablespoonful onto a foil-lined cookie sheet. Work quickly as mixture sets easily. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes or until completely set. Remove from foil paper using a plastic or rubber spatula. Store in refrigerator in lightly packed jar. Makes about 20 pralines.
