Ingredients:
1 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup white granulated sugar |
1/2 cup water |
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream |
1 1/2 cups whole pecans |
butter, to grease cookie sheet |
Directions:
1. Place sugars, water and cream in a heavy, medium saucepan over moderate heat. Stir often and cook to a soft ball stage, about 8 to 10 minutes. Use a candy thermometer; the soft-ball stage is between 234 degrees F and 240 degrees F.
2. Remove from heat and beat mixture with an electric mixer in the pot on low setting until creamy, 2 or 3 minutes. Stir in all the pecans to coat evenly. Using a soup spoon or tablespoon, drop big spoonfuls of praline mixture onto a buttered sheet pan to cool.
