PECAN PRALINES BY MICROWAVE



Pecan Pralines by Microwave image

Here's a recipe I adapted from a stove-top recipe in a church women's collection back in the late 60's. It's so easy my sons made it, too, as kids. No scorching, no continuous stirring: let the microwave work for you. I use a 2-qt. glass measuring cup with handle, a wooden spoon for stirring and have a glass lid that fits. The handle helps when the candy hits over 200* The cooling pad of waxed paper over newspaper keeps the wax from sticking to your counter top. Time numbers in brackets are for double batch. Check out the companion recipe for Peanut Patties. These candies make great gifts----I can make up a batch in less time than it takes me to "run" to the store.

Yield 36-48 patties, 12-20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup water
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 cup white sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt (dash)
1 teaspoon oleo
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups pecans (halves and or or pieces)

  • Add vanilla and pecans.
  • Stir, then cook on High 2min. (5).
  • Stir in powdered sugar.
  • Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper over newsprint. If candy gets too thick, reheat 20-30 secs.
  • Add more nuts at the end if you run out of nuts before candy, (but these don't taste as good as the cooked nuts.).
  • You can also drizzle the extra candy at the end over the first pralines which don't have as much because it was too hot at first.
  • It's the powdered sugar that makes the syrup crystalize as it cools.
  • You can cook on stove---get syrup to softball stage -234*; stir constantly.

MAWMAW BELLARD'S PRALINES (MICROWAVE RECIPE)



Mawmaw Bellard's Pralines (Microwave Recipe) image

There are tons of microwave praline recipes out there, but this is the one that tastes like the ones my mawmaw made, before microwaves were a thought..LOLOL The ones in stores aren't like hers, they are dark brown and creamy. Her pralines were thinner, glassy looking surface, and very sugary!

Provided by Monique in LA

Categories     Candy

Time 7m

Yield 15 pralines

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/3 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup pecans
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • combine all except for vanilla extract in a microwave safe 1 quart bowl or measuring cup.
  • Microwave on high for about 6 minutes, stirring every 2 minute.
  • Add Vanilla extract and stir quickly.
  • Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper and allow to harden.
  • If it sets up too fast while in the bowl just add a bit of evaporated milk.
  • My problem was always spooning them out before the sugary mixture was thick enough or had cooled enough. I solved that by stirring quickly and checking to see if it starts to harden around the edges of my spoon or bowl. That's when it's ready to spoon out. It's very humid here so unsure how different climates will affect the outcome.

MICROWAVE PRALINES



Microwave Pralines image

Categories     dessert

Time 40m

Yield About 30 pralines

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 cups pecans
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups light brown sugar
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup milk
1/3 cup butter
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Spread the pecans on a baking sheet and bake in a 350-degree oven until lightly toasted, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Combine all the ingredients except the pecans and vanilla extract in a 4-quart glass bowl. Heat in a microwave oven on high power for 5 minutes. Using oven mitts or potholders, carefully transfer the bowl to a countertop and stir with a heat-resistant spatula. Return to microwave and heat for 5 more minutes.
  • Stir in the pecans and heat for another 5 minutes. Stir and check the temperature with a digital or candy thermometer. If it reads 240 degrees, proceed to Step 4. If not, continue heating on high power, stirring and checking the temperature every minute until it does.
  • Remove from oven and let the mix sit undisturbed. After 20 minutes, add the vanilla extract and stir vigorously until it becomes cloudy and creamy. Using 2 spoons, scoop and shape into 2-inch-diameter mounds on a baking sheet lined with foil, parchment paper or a silicone mat. If the mix becomes too hard to shape, reheat for 15 seconds. Let the pralines rest for 30 minutes. Keep stored in an airtight container.
