Easy Pecan Praline Sauce Food

CREAMY PECAN PRALINES

Steps:

• Mix light brown sugar, granulated sugar, heavy cream, butter, water and salt in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until sugar dissolves. Stir in pecans and cook over medium heat until mixture reaches the soft ball stage, 238 to 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer. If you spoon a drop of boiling syrup into a cup of ice water, it will form a soft ball that flattens easily between your fingers.
• Remove pan from heat and stir rapidly until mixture thickens. Drop pralines by the spoonfuls, 1-inch apart onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Let cool completely until firm. Store in an airtight container.

PECAN-PRALINE SAUCE

Steps:

• In a medium, heavy-duty saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar and corn syrup and cook, stirring regularly, until the mixture becomes deep amber, the color of coffee with a touch of cream.
• Remove from the heat and whisk in the water. Since the mixture can splatter, you may wish to wear an oven mitt. (The sugar might seize when you add the water, but it will smooth out as you stir it.) Bring the sauce to a low boil, whisking, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the cream, pecans, salt, whiskey, and vanilla. Serve warm.
• Variation
• To make Pecan, Cranberry, and Praline Sauce, substitute 1/4 cup (30 g) of chopped dried cranberries for 1/4 cup (30 g) of the pecans.
• Storage
• This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Rewarm it gently in a microwave or by stirring in a saucepan over very low heat.
