Nanny's Basic Pecan Pralines
Recipe courtesy Rachael Ray's Nanny, Esther Grace Moore

Ingredients
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white granulated sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 cups whole pecans
Butter, to grease cookie sheet

Directions
Place sugars, water and cream in a heavy, medium saucepan over moderate
heat. Stir often and cook to a soft ball stage, about 8 to 10 minutes. Use a candy thermometer; the
soft-ball stage is between 234 degrees F and 240 degrees F.

Remove from heat and beat mixture with an electric mixer in the pot on low setting until creamy, 2
or 3 minutes. Stir in all the pecans to coat evenly. Using a soup spoon or tablespoon, drop big
spoonfuls of praline mixture onto a buttered sheet pan to cool.
