Favorite Pecan Pralines

Directions

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugars, half and half and the butter. Using a heat resistant or wood spatula stir the mixture to 232°F.

At 230°F add the remaining ingredients and stir to 237°F. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool undisturbed and uncovered to 214°F.

At 212°F stir the mixture for a few seconds and drop tablespoons full on wax paper or on a silicone baking mat. Let harden.

Note:

If the mixture firms or becomes crystallized before it was dropped, reheat the mixture with a few drops of water. Let cool slightly and drop on wax paper.
