CREAMY PECAN PRALINES
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.
TEXAS PECAN PRALINES
My pecan praline recipe is special to me for I received it from my mother, who was an excellent cook! I also am a Texas Aggie Mom and I use pecans from a South Texas Aggie grower that our Aggie Mom's club has purchased from for many years. The quality is outstanding and far better than you will find in any grocery store. -Carol Jones, Blue Ridge, Texas

CHOCOLATE PRALINES, MEXICAN STYLE
These are the kind of pralines that you find at the checkout in Mexican restaurants. They are creamy instead of chewy like those in New Orleans, and the secret ingredient to make these creamy dreamy pralines...marshmallows! These are surprisingly easy to make and even quicker to disappear!

MEXICAN PRALINES
A Christmas time specialty of the Simpson family in the Mesilla Valley. This recipe is from A Bite of History--Recipes and Tales for the Mesilla Valley Compiled by Sunny Conly. This recipe is a little different from most. The cook time is a guesstimate. I will try to remember to time it at Christmas.

MEXICAN PRALINES
A dessert candy that is ready to eat in 10 minutes. EXTREMELY DECADENT..! Only for the very sweet tooth. Very finicky recipe, timing is everything A candy thermometer is very handy. Otherwise, test for soft ball stage by dropping one drop into cool water, if it balls up you are ready.
