Subj : 6/24 Creamy Praline Day 2 To : All From : Dave Drum Date : Fri Jun 23 2023 18:30:00 MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Creamy New Orleans Pralines Categories: Nuts, Dairy, Candy Yield: 54 servings 3 c Chopped pecans 2 c (paced) light brown sugar 1 c Granulated sugar 1 1/2 c Heavy cream 1/3 c Whole milk 6 tb Butter; unsalted 3/4 ts Salt 1 ts Vanilla extract Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC. Spread chopped pecans out on a large baking sheet. Bake for about 5 minutes, or until the chopped pecans are lightly browned and aromatic. This can also be achieved by microwaving pecans on a microwave-safe plate in 30 second increments. In a medium saucepan, combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cream, milk, butter, and salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, to 238ºF/114ºC Lower heat slightly if the mixture threatens to boil over. Add the pecans; continue cooking, stirring constantly, to 238ºF/114ºC The mixture should form a soft ball when a little is dropped in cold water. Remove from the heat and add vanilla; let stand for about 5 minutes. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture is thickened and slightly creamy, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, spoon the pralines onto a sheet of parchment paper or waxed paper. If the mixture becomes grainy, heat and stir over medium heat for a few seconds, or until it can be easily scooped and dropped.
