Praline Sauce

Source of Recipe


Internet






List of Ingredients



• 1 lb. granulated sugar
  
• 2 cups dark corn syrup
  
• 1/2 cup water
  
• 1/2 cup double-strength black coffee
  
• 2 Tbsp butter
  
• 3 cups roasted pecan halves or pieces
  






Instructions



1. Place the sugar in a large heavy pot and set over medium heat. Stirring often, slowly let the sugar melt and caramelize until dark brown, being careful not to let it burn. Add the dark corn syrup. Add the water, along with the coffee and butter. Bring to a boil; lower to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool to room temperature. If the sauce is too thick, add a little more water.
   
   
2. Add the roasted pecans shortly before serving so they will maintain their crispness. Without the pecans added, the sauce will keep for several weeks in a covered container. If you choose to refrigerate it, be sure to let it get back to room temperature before serving.
   
   
3. Enjoy for dessert over ice cream or cheesecake; or, for a special breakfast, as a topping for French toast or pancakes.
