Quick Pecan Candy

How to make an easy pecan candy / praline. Yummy delicious pecan goodness

[@pearlyone1]

The only thing I'd do differently is to roast the pecans for a few minutes prior to putting them into the brown sugar/butter mixture. Roasting pecans really enhances their flavor.

[@mf5531]

yes, great idea.

That sounds good

Cajun isn’t a race or ethnicity

[@karenrandall8375]

@@jahonk17 It's a culture of its own within the United States and some would argue it's a state of mind. I'm sick of people getting their britches in a wad because someone even mentions a culture or race. Complaining about anything to do with indigenous people or anything remotely related to someone's culture. Wiping out any mention of different races, ethnicities and richly divergent cultures to the point of making history illegal. Yeah, let's all forget about Wounded Knee, Ruby Ridge, and even the Nazi death camps so we can repeat those hideous mistakes all over again!!! Rant finished.

I've never tried making it with heavy whipping cream....but sounds delicious so I will give it a try !

[@CM-xc5me]

I use evaporated milk instead of water when I make mine & sometimes I don't add the vanilla. It makes for yummy variations of your recipe (the first time I didn't realize that they harden up more after cooling). I always refrigerate my pecans to keep them fresh, & you can always make extra & freeze some for another time. I use them on my salads & also eat them as a snack, but the possibilities are endless for what you can use them for. Candied/Glazed pecans make great Christmas gifts for family, friends, co-workers, mail-person, etc. If you decide to refrigerate but don't want to eat them cold, it doesn't take long at all for them to reach room temp, especially if you use chopped pieces for use in your salads. (Tip: if you want smaller pieces for salads: chop the pecans *before* you cook them so you get the yummy stuff on all of the sides).

This looks amazing! I think that if you waited till the very end to add your vanilla it wouldn't burn off during the cooking process and you wouldn't have to add extra. But that's just me. Enjoy!
