How to Make New Orleans Style Pralines
- Combine sugar, corn syrup, butter, and cream in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, without stirring, and continue to cook until it reaches 245°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer (firm-ball stage).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and pecans.
- Immediately pour the mixture onto a buttered marble slab or baking sheet.
- Let the mixture cool slightly until it begins to set but is still malleable (about 5-7 minutes).
- Using a buttered knife or spatula, quickly shape the praline mixture into 1-inch squares or desired shapes.
- Let the pralines cool completely before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
