Pecan Pralines
Source of Recipe
Original recipe from Sara Dolezal modified by BL Olson
List of Ingredients
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk (use the recipe Judy posted)
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1 1/4 cups pecan halves
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extractRecipe
1. Generously grease a large slab or baking sheet.
2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, white sugar and milk. Bring to a boil. Stir in coconut oil, pecans and vanilla. Heat, without stirring, to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface. Remove from heat and let cool 5 minutes.
3. Beat until thickened, then pour immediately onto prepared surface and let rest until firm and completely cool before cutting.
This is great on it's own but also excellent as a topping on cakes, and ice cream.
