So we’re obviously in the mood for sweets over here at Cajun French Blog. We like to balance our spicy cuisine with sweet, yummy goodness. The last sweet we mentioned was a breakfast food we call Pain Perdue – (french for “lost bread”). Now it’s time to show you how to make of the local favorites – the Praline.

Ingredients

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup light brown sugar
• 1 stick butter
• 1 cup milk
• 2 tbsps Karo syrup
• 4 cups pecan halves

Instructions

Pull all the ingredients except the pecans in a 3 quart saucepan and cook for about 20 minutes, after boiling starts, stirring occasionally. Add the pecans and cook the mixture until the liquid forms a soft ball when a little is dropped into cold water. Stir well and then drop by spoonfuls on waxed paper. Place a few sheets of newspaper beneath the waxed paper. Let cool and enjoy!!! Very yummy any time of the year.

Thank you Rick for the praline pic
