Pecan Pralines Southern Style image

Southern decadence at it finest! These are enough to make a New Orleans native like me homesick. Cook time includes cooling time. Recipe from Foodtv.com (but its almost as good as MawMaw's recipe)

Categories     Candy

Time 1h

Yield 24 pralines

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup pecans
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter

1 teaspoon Bourbon (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Spread the pecans on a cookie sheet and place in the oven for 3 minutes.

  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
  • Fit a heavy-bottomed saucepan with a candy thermometer.
  • Over high heat, cook the cream, butter and brown sugar to 240 degrees (soft ball).
  • If necessary, stir once to help dissolve the sugar.

I'm not usually a fan of pralines, but these ones are really good. They're not too sweet and they have a nice, nutty flavor.
