Mrs. Jackson’s Pralines

i think the last time i had pralines was in mexico of all places.. so delicious! :)

FROM HOMESICK TEXAN (HomesickTexan.blogspot.com)
2cups of white sugar
2cups of brown sugar
2tsps of vanilla
6tbsps light corn syrup
4cups pecans
1 heaping tbsp of butter
2/3cup milk
Directions:
1. Mix all ingredients very well in a cold pan.
2. Turn stove on medium high heat, & when mixture comes to a boil, cook & stir for 4mins. (If you use a candy thermometer, temperature should be 234F.)
3. Remove from heat.
4. Stir for about one minute or until mixture is not so glossy.
5. Spoon pralines onto trays lined w/foil or parchment paper. Let cool for about 20min & remove.

**Note: The recipe calls for corn syrup and if you live in a part of the world where corn syrup isn’t sold, or just don’t want to cook with it, I have to say the recipe works equally well with Lyle’s Golden Syrup as a replacement for the corn syrup, used in equal measure.
