Pecan Pralines

Ingredients

• 2 tbls. butter
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup granulated white sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar

Directions

1. Combine sugars and cream in saucepan over medium heat, stirring until mixture comes to a boil. Add butter, vanilla and pecans.

2. Boil until mixture reaches 238 degrees — the “soft ball” stage. Remove from the heat and beat until the mixture begins to thicken.
