Title: Pecan Pralines
Categories: Nuts, Dairy, Candy
Yield: 2-1/4 Pounds
3 ts Butter
1/2 c Butter; in cubes
2 c Sugar
1 c Brown sugar; packed
1 c Half & half cream
1/2 c Sweetened condensed milk
1 tb Light corn syrup
1 ds Salt
3 c Pecan halves
1/2 ts Vanilla extract
Line 3 baking sheets with foil and grease the foil with 1 ts butter
each; set aside.
In a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt cubed butter. Stir
in sugars, cream, milk, corn syrup, and salt; cook and stir until
mixture comes to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until a candy
thermometer reads 236°F/113°C (soft-ball stage), about
20 minutes.
Remove from heat; stir in pecans and vanilla. Cool, without
stirring, to 170°F/77°C, about 20 minutes. Stir with a
wooden spoon until mixture just begins to thicken but is still
glossy, about 2 minutes.
Quickly drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheets.
Let stand until pralines are set and no longer glossy. Refrigerate
until completely set, about 1 hour.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
