Pecan Pralines Makes approximately 15-20 pralines 2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup half and half 1/3 stick of salted butter 1/8 teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups whole pecans In a large saucepan over medium high heat, combine the sugar, half and half, butter, baking soda and vanilla. Stir the mixture until boiling and the sugar has disolved completely. Turn the heat to medium low and continue stiring until the mixture reaches 238 – 241 degrees on a candy thermometer or soft ball stage. (The mixture will begin to take on a light caramel color.) Stir in the pecans and remove from the heat. Stir the mixture until it begins to thicken and becomes creamy. Using a tablespoon, drop onto parchment paper, a butter pan or silicone baking mat. Let it cool completely. Store in an airtight container. Poster Comment: Disclaimer: I have not yet made these since I just found the recipe this morning. But it looks good and I will be making some as soon as I can get out to the store to get some Half and Half. It's not something we keep as a staple.

Oh yeah, forgot to say this but when I cook anything that has sugar in it, or anything that has to be boiled anyway, I start out on a fairly low heat until the sugar dissolves. Then I go up to medium high heat but don't start out on that.
Americans who have no experience with, or knowledge of, tyranny believe that only terrorists will experience the unchecked power of the state. They will believe this until it happens to them, or their children, or their friends.
