We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

Mother's Creamy New Orleans Pralines

from the Houston Junior League Cookbook

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup white sugar
2 cups dark brown sugar
1 cup whipping cream
2 cups pecans
1/4 cup butter
1 Tablespoon vanilla
Pinch salt

TO PREPARE:

Combine white sugar, brown sugar and cream in large saucepan. Cook slowly, stirring constantly, for at least 15 minutes, until a soft ball forms in a cup of cold water. Add pecans and cook a little longer, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Add butter, vanilla and salt; beat until mixture looks sugary around edges of pan. (To speed the process, put saucepan in cold water.) Place wax paper on wooden or metal surface. Drop candy from spoon onto wax paper. If pralines "run" when dropped on paper and do not set, they have not been cooked long enough. Scoop up candy, cook a little longer, beat, and try again. Let cool before removing from wax paper.

YIELDS: 3 dozen pralines
