How To Make Pralines

Показать описание

To make pralines (pronounce PRAH-leens), combine granulated sugar, light brown sugar, and evaporated milk in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Brush down any crystals that have formed on the sides of the pan with a brush dipped in warm water.
Cook over medium heat, stirring often, 11 minutes or until a candy thermometer registers 228 degrees.
Stir in toasted pecans and butter, and cook, stirring constantly, until the butter melts and the candy thermometer registers 232 degrees.
Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla.
Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon 1 to 2 minutes or just until mixture begins to thicken and loose its gloss.
Quickly drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto wax paper. Let the pralines stand about 30 minutes until they've completely cooled and are firm.

Yield: Makes 2 1/2 dozen
Ingredients

* 1 1/2 cups sugar
* 1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
* 1 cup evaporated milk
* 1/4 cup butter or margarine
* 2 cups pecan halves, toasted
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Preparation

Bring sugars and milk to a boil in a Dutch oven, stirring often. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, 11 minutes or until a candy thermometer registers 228° (thread stage).

Stir in butter and pecans; cook, stirring constantly, until candy thermometer registers 236° (soft ball stage).

Remove from heat; stir in vanilla. Beat with a wooden spoon 1 to 2 minutes or just until mixture begins to thicken. Quickly drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto buttered wax paper or parchment paper; let stand until firm.

My husband wanted to order from River street sweets, but I said we could make them cheaper than $31.00 for 10 pcs. Guess what, this recipe tastes just like them and makes so much more! Fantastic

I love pralines...for me it's like praline crack. They really are so easy to make that its almost impossible to make a mistake; just five ingredients. Actually, if you make mistake, they still taste delicious. Yours look so good.

I tried some praline after my parents got home from N'Arlens(I say it like that, because that's how people in N'Arlens say N'Arlens)... we also had a big discussion over how it's pronounced :P
BUT THEY ARE SOO GOOD!!!
Thanks for telling me how to make them!

Awesome recipe. I have used it for two years in a row. Great feedback from others but I can't take credit for how good they are...
Thank you. I did have to figure out the measurements of sugar, (both) butter, and evap milk

MrRainbowrooster

Good Lord, these look fantastic! I will definitely try the recipe this weekend..I need to master this delicious recipe before the Christmas candy season strikes! Would a pinch of sea salt enhance the flavor of these candies? Thanks for sharing...
