Pecan Pralines Recipe
Ingredients
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
1/2 cup (canned) evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla (do not use imitation)
2 tablespoons butter (no margarine)
1 cup whole or large chunk pecans
Directions
1. Combine the brown sugar, white sugar and milk in a heavy pot and cook slowly over low heat until it reaches the soft ball stage (a drop of mixture in a cup of cold water forms a ball or 238 degrees F. on a candy thermometer).
2. Remove from heat and add the butter, vanilla and pecans. Beat mixture with a wooden spoon until it is smooth and creamy.
3. Lightly spray a flat surface (cookie sheet) with cooking spray.
4. Drop spoonfuls of mix at a time onto sprayed surface.
4. Wait 10-15 minutes for praline to harden.
Note: If praline does not harden sufficiently, you probably did not get mix to proper temperature. You can put it back in a pot and cook again, making sure to obtain 238 degrees F.
Makes about 1 dozen pralines.
