Pralines
List of Ingredients
Combine and bring to a hard rolling boil:
1 C white granulated sugar
1 C brown sugar, light or dark
3/4 stick of butter (6 T)
1/4 C light corn syrup
5 T evaporated milk or light cream
Recipe
After it comes to a hard, rolling boil, boil for 1 minute and 5
seconds without stirring. And yes, use a watch and time it. Remove
from the heat. Add 1 1/2 cups of good quality pecans, coarsely
chopped and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Begin to beat immediately with
large spoon until slightly thickened and begins to lose gloss. After
the transparent look is gone, drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let
set until tops are dry and turn over and let bottoms dry. Store in a
sealed container or zip-top bag. One recipe makes 2 1/2 to 3 dozen
medium pralines. If you accidentally break some in the process of
making or bagging, the crumbs are wonderful sprinkled over vanilla ice
cream.
