Praline Recipe
-
Ingredients:
2 cups granulated white sugar
1 cup of light brown sugar
18 ounces of evaporated milk(about 1 1/2 12 ounce cans)
1 stick of unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups of chopped pecans
1 1/2 teaspoons of vanilla extract
In a sturdy saucepan or pot combine the sugar and milk and bring to a boil over a medium-high flame. Cook this mixture stirring continuously with a wooden spoon until it reaches the soft ball candy stage(about 235 degrees if you are using a candy thermometer or when mixture forms a soft ball when dropped in ice water). This will take about 30 minutes. Make sure that you don’t stop stirring as the mixture will thicken too quickly and burn if left unattended. After the mixture reaches the soft ball stage add the remaining ingredients(butter, pecans and vanilla extract) and turn off the heat. Stir the mixture for approximately three additional minutes adding a little milk if it gets too thick to stir. Spoon the mixture in the portion sizes that you want onto waxed paper and let cool.
ENJOY !
Makes about 12 pralines.
