PECAN PRALINES

 

1 c. brown sugar

1/2 c. granulated sugar

1/2 c.

heavy cream

4 T. unsalted butter

2 T. water

1 c. pecan halves

 

In

heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine brown sugar, sugar, heavy cream, butter,

and

water. Place over medium-high heat and stir constantly until pralines

reach the

softball stage, 238* - 240* F. Add pecans, and remove from heat.

Continue to

stir candy vigorously with wooden spoon until candy cools, and

the pecans remain

suspended in the candy, about 2 minutes. Spoon pralines out

onto a parchment or

aluminum foil lined sheet pan and cool completely before

serving.
