Old-Fashioned Pralines image

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.

1 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)

1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Combine all ingredients and bring to soft ball stage (230 to 240 degrees), stirring constantly.
