Awww, My mouth is waterin just thinkin about these ! :)
Combine and bring to a hard rolling boil:
1 cup white granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, light or dark
3/4 stick of butter, 6 tablespoons
1/4 cup light corn syrup
5 tablespoons evaporated milk or light cream (I ALWAYS use evaporated milk!)
After it comes to a hard, rolling boil, boil for 1 minute and 5 seconds without stirring. And yes, use a watch and time it. Remove from the heat. Add 1 1/2 cups of good quality pecans, coarsely chopped and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. Begin to beat immediately with large spoon until slightly thickened and begins to lose gloss. After the transparent look is gone, drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. Let set until tops are dry and turn over and let bottoms dry. Store in a sealed container or zip-top bag. One recipe makes 2 1/2 to 3 dozen medium pralines. If you accidentally break some in the process of making or bagging, the crumbs are wonderful sprinkled over vanilla ice cream.
