Recipe Introduction


Be sure to get the wax paper or foil in place and have all
utensils ready and ingredients measured before starting to cook the
syrup.




List of Ingredients




¾ cup white granulated sugar
¾ cup light brown sugar
½ cup evaporated milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Dash of salt
¼ stick butter or margarine
1 cup pecan halves


Recipe



In a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the white
sugar, brown sugar and evaporated milk to a boil. Reduce the heat to
medium-low and stir syrup for about 6 minutes.

When the syrup reaches the soft-ball stage (234 F to 240 F), remove
pot from heat and add vanilla, salt and butter or margarine. Stir
until the butter is melted, then add the pecans.

Beat the candy while it is hot, and as soon as it begins to lose its
glossy sheen, drop the candy by spoonfuls onto wax paper set on top
of newspapers to protect counter top or aluminum foil. Makes 12
pralines.
