Pralines 2
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1/8 Tsp salt
3 Tbsp dark corn syrup
1 cup evaporated milk
2 Tbsp butter
1 Tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
Directions
Butter the sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan.
Place the sugar, salt, corn syrup, milk, and butter in saucepan.
Over medium heat, stir mixture constantly with a wooden spoon until sugars have dissolved and mixture comes to a boil.
Continue to cook to a soft ball stage (234-240 deg. on a candy thermometer).
Remove from heat and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Add the vanilla and nuts, and beat with a spoon by hand for approximately 2 minutes or until candy is slightly thick and begins to lose its gloss.
Quickly drop heaping tablespoons onto waxed paper.
If the candy becomes stiff, add a few drops of hot water.
