Pecan Pralines
|
 |
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup milk
8 large marshmallows
2 cups coarsely chopped pecans
2 tablespoons butter (no substitutes)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash ground cinnamon
Lightly butter two baking sheets or line with waxed paper; set aside. In a
saucepan, combine the sugars, milk and marshmallows. Cook and stir over low heat
until marshmallows are completely melted. Cook over medium heat, stirring
occasionally, until a candy thermometer reads 234°-240° (soft-ball
stage). Without stirring or scraping, pour hot liquid into another saucepan.
Add the pecans, butter, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir rapidly until mixture is
thickened and creamy, about 3 minutes. Drop quickly by rounded tablespoonfuls
onto prepared pans. Flatten slightly. Let stand until set. Store in an
airtight container.
Yield: about 2 dozen.
