Old Fashioned Pralines
Planning to try this for the holidays. I've never made pralines before! Cook time includes optional pecan-roasting minutes. Prep time is an approximation of how long it will take to get all your ingredients in the pot, and on their way to soft-ball stage.
Steps
Combine all ingredients and bring to soft ball stage , stirring constantly.
Remove from heat.
Stir until mixture thickens , becomes creamy and cloudy , and pecans stay suspended in mixture.
Spoon out on aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Makes approximately fifteen to twenty pralines , depending on size.
Ingredients
sugar, light brown sugar, milk, butter, pecans, vanilla
