    Title: Pecan Pralines
    Categories: Nuts, Dairy, Candy
    Yield: 2 1/4 pounds

    3 ts Butter
    1/2 c Butter; in cubes
    2 c Sugar
    1 c Packed brown sugar
    1 c Half & Half cream
    1/2 c Sweetened condensed milk
    1 tb Light corn syrup
    ds Salt
    3 c Pecan halves
    1/2 ts Vanilla extract

    Line 3 baking sheets with foil and grease the foil with
    1 teaspoon butter each; set aside.

    In a large heavy saucepan over medium heat, melt cubed
    butter. Stir in sugars, cream, milk, corn syrup and
    salt; cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil. Cook,
    stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer reads
    236ºF/113ºC (soft-ball stage), about 20 minutes.

    Remove from heat; stir in pecans and vanilla. Cool,
    without stirring, to 170ºF/77ºC, about 20 minutes. Stir
    with a wooden spoon until mixture just begins to thicken
    but is still glossy, about 2 minutes.

    Quickly drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared
    baking sheets. Let stand until pralines are set and no
    longer glossy. Refrigerate until completely set, about 1
    hour.

    Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
