Christmas is my favorite season. I love the sights, the smells, and the tastes. One of my fondest memories is watching my grandmother make her pralines. Now my husband makes them for our holiday. I hope you enjoy the sweet southern confection as much as we do.
Happy Holidays!

Oma’s Pralines
1 ½ cups brown sugar
1 ½ cups granulated sugar
3 Tablespoons dark corn syrup
1 cup canned milk (Carnation or Pet)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cups pecan halves
Butter sides of heavy 3-quart saucepan. Combine sugars, corn syrup, and milk.
Heat and stir over medium heat till sugars dissolve and mixture comes to boiling.
Cook to soft-ball stage (234 degrees), stirring occasionally.
Remove from heat, cool slightly, and add vanilla.
Beat by hand about 2 minutes before adding pecans then beat until mixture loses its gloss.
Drop by heaping tablespoons on buttered foil or waxed paper-lined cookie sheet. (If candy becomes too stiff to drop from spoon, add a teaspoon of hot water.)
Makes nine 3 ½ inch pralines.
