Beverly Cutler

Servings

Makes about 60 pralines

Ingredients

  • 3 c. sugar
  • 1 c. buttermilk
  • 1/2 tsp. soda
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 1/2 c. light corn syrup
  • 1/8 tsp. salt
  • 2 lbs. pecans (broken)

Instructions

  1. Combine sugar, buttermilk, soda, butter, corn syrup, and salt in a medium saucepan.
  2. Cook over high heat, stirring often, to 250 degrees and remove from heat.
  3. Stir in pecans.
  4. Stir a few more minutes until it is not so glossy.
  5. Spoon onto wax paper.

Notes

If using one of the newer less refined sugars, it will become not so glossy much quicker.
