Pecan Pralines - Dupree

Recipe Ingredients

2 cups	396g / 13oz	Sugar
1/2 cup	164g / 5.8oz	Light corn syrup
1/2 cup	118ml	Water
2 cups	292g / 10oz	Pecan halves
1/4 cup	49g / 1.7oz	Butter
1 tablespoon	15ml	Vanilla

Recipe Instructions

Heat the sugar, syrup, water, and pecans in a heavy saucepan until the sugar is dissolved. Bring the mixture to the boil, stirring occasionally, until it reaches the soft ball stage (240F).

Remove the saucepan from the heat and add butter and vanilla. Allow candy to cool. Whip until the mixture gradually changes to an opaque color and becomes creamy.

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto a buttered cookie sheet and allow to harden.

Makes two dozen.

From Nathalie Dupree's New Southern Cooking Nathalie Dupree writes, "Pralines are traditionally given as Christmas gifts. Their sweetness will linger in your mouth long after the candy is gone."
