List of Ingredients

1/2 pound light brown sugar
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup + 2 Tbl. evaporated milk
1 1/2 teaspoons butter
1 cup chopped pecans



Recipe

Mix sugar, salt, evaporated milk and butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until sugar dissolves. Stir in pecans and cook over medium heat until mixture reaches the soft ball stage. (234 to 240ºF on a candy thermometer; if you spoon a drop of boiling syrup into a cup of ice water, it will form a soft ball that flattens easily between your fingers.) Remove pan from heat and stir rapidly until mixture thickens. Drop pralines by teaspoonfuls, 1-inch apart onto waxed paper or buttered foil; let cool completely until firmed up. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 1 dozen.
