No candy thermometer. Have made these numerous times. The key is you continue a medium heat until the mixture goes dry. Constantly stirring. It'll be all bubbly and within a minute or two it goes to complete dryness. There's nothing in the pan but sugar-coated pecans and the leftover sugar. At that time dump the pecans on the cooling sheet.
