      Title: New Orleans Creamy Pralines
 Categories: Candy, Nuts, Dairy
      Yield: 18 servings
 
      1 c  Granulated sugar
      1 c  Packed brown sugar
    1/2 c  Evaporated milk
      4 tb Unsalted butter; diced
      2 ts Pure vanilla extract
  1 1/2 c  Toasted, coarse chopped
           - pecans
    1/4 c  Boiling water; if needed
 
  Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil
  and spraying the foil with nonstick cooking spray.
  Alternatively, use a silicone mat on top of the baking
  sheet.
  
  In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the white
  sugar, brown sugar, and evaporated milk.
  
  Stir until the sugar dissolves. Once all is well mixed,
  insert a candy thermometer. Cook the candy, stirring
  occasionally, until the thermometer reads 238ºF/114ºC.
  
  Once the proper temperature is reached, remove the pan
  from the heat and drop the cubes of butter on top,
  without stirring. Allow the sugar mixture to sit for 1
  minute.
  
  Add the vanilla extract and pecans.
  
  Begin to stir smoothly and constantly with a wooden
  spoon; the candy will begin to thicken and appear
  lighter in color. Continue to stir until the candy
  starts to hold its shape. It should still be easy to
  stir, but don't overdo it, as pralines quickly go from
  fluid to rock-solid.

  Allow the candy to fully set at room temperature; it
  should take about 30 minutes for the pralines to harden.
  Store the pralines in an airtight container at room
  temperature.
  
  Yield: 15 to 20 pralines
