Categories     dessert

Time 22m

Yield about 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups chopped pecans

Steps:

  • Mix light brown sugar, granulated sugar, heavy cream, butter, water and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until sugar dissolves. Stir in pecans and cook over medium heat until mixture reaches the soft ball stage, 238 to 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer. If you spoon a drop of boiling syrup into a cup of ice water, it will form a soft ball that flattens easily between your fingers.
  • Remove pan from heat and stir rapidly until mixture thickens. Drop pralines by the spoonfuls, 1-inch apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Let cool completely until firm. Store in an airtight container.

1 ½ cups brown sugar
1 ½ cups white sugar
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter, softened
