Queys Savannah Pralines Recipes

PRALINES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• In large saucepan over medium heat, combine pecans, sugar, butter, brown sugar, milk and vanilla. Heat to between 234 and 240 degrees F (112 to 116 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms a soft ball that flattens when removed from the water and placed on a flat surface.
• Drop by spoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet. Let cool completely.

PECAN PRALINES

Steps:

• Generously butter baking sheets.
• In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, white sugar, water and butter. Bring to a rapid boil and stir in pecans. Continue to cook and stir until large bubbles form on the surface, pecans begin to look sugary and mixture just begins to color. Remove from heat and drop by rounded spoonfuls onto prepared sheets. Let cool completely.

PRALINE PARTY MIX

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Line parchment paper on a large cookie sheet. I use my 1/2 sheet cake pan. Pour onto parchment the pecans and cereal. Mix well with your hands. In a small saucepan, mix brown sugar, praline mix, and butter. Gently boil 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in baking soda until foamy. Pour over cereal/pecans and stir to coat well. Bake for 1 hour. (The recipe says to stir once during baking, but I have found to stir 2 or 3 times during baking process is best.) This recipe was taken directly from the praline bottle. This praline mix has many good recipes with it, i.e. Praline Cake, Whipped Topping, Southern Cappuccino, Cafe' Royale, Sweet Potatoes, etc. This bottle of mix lasts a long while. This is my 3rd Christmas on this particular bottle. NOTE: I do have the address, online site and 800 phone # if you would like it.

QUEY'S SAVANNAH PRALINES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment; spray the parchment with nonstick spray.
• Melt the butter in a Dutch oven, then add the sugars, milks and salt. Place a candy thermometer on the side of the pot, bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook until it reaches soft-ball stage or 235 degrees F, about 10 minutes. Whisk in the pecans and cook, stirring constantly, until creamy and starting to thicken, 3 to 5 minutes; if it gets too thick too fast, add a splash of milk to loosen it up. Drop the pralines 1/4 cup at a time onto the prepared baking sheet. Rest at room temperature to cool, about 5 minutes.

PECAN PRALINES

Steps:

• 1) Combine both sugars, the vanilla and the evaporated milk in a saucepan. 2) Heat to 230 degrees (just below soft ball stage). Stir frequently so sugar does not burn. 3) Add the butter and continue to heat and stir until the mixture reaches 250 degrees (the temperature is very important). 4) Remove from the heat and stir in the pecans. Continue to stir until the mixture begins to cool and thickens. 5) Spoon out onto wax paper to cool. If the mixture thickens to much while spooning it out, heat just until it is soft enough again.
