Creamy Pecan Pralines
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2006

Ingredients
1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons water
1 cup pecan halves

Directions
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the light brown
sugar, granulated sugar, heavy cream, butter, and water. Place over a medium-high
heat and stir constantly until the pralines reach the softball stage, 238 to 240

degrees F. Add the pecans to the candy, and pull the pan off of the stove.
Continue to stir the candy vigorously with a wooden spoon until the candy cools,
and the pecans remain suspended in the candy, about 2 minutes. Spoon the pralines
out onto a parchment or aluminum foil lined sheet pan and cool completely before
serving.
