PECAN PRALINES
I grew up in Mississippi, and these Louisianna Pralines have been passed down from my grandmother to my mom, and now to me, hopefully my daughter will make them as well. I make loads of them for gifting, and take batches into work for treat days. I never come home with leftovers. They literally melt in your mouth.

Steps:
- 1. Spread sheets of waxed paper or aluminum foil on cool counter top.
- 2. Combine all ingredients except the nuts in heavy saucepan. Stirring constantly to prevent sticking/scorching on medium high heat until it boils. Continue stirring while it boils for approx. 15 minutes or until it reaches medium soft-ball stage. You can test this without a candy thermometer by dribbling some of the liquid into a cup of cool water, if it balls/sets up, its cooked long enough. If it just mixes w/water, then cook longer until tests as above.
- 3. Remove from heat, add chopped nuts and stir until the sheen/shine starts to disappear, and begins to thicken. This step is important....if you spoon them out to soon, you just have sticky globs of caramel stuff....they won't set up properly.
- 4. Working quickly, drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let cool. Remove from paper & store in airtight container.
