How to Make Pecan Pralines Southern Style
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Spread 1 cup pecan halves on a baking sheet. Bake for 3 minutes, then stir and bake for another 3 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar.
- Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan. Over medium-high heat, cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C).
- Remove from heat and let stand for 15 seconds.
- Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon bourbon (optional), and the toasted pecans.
- Continue stirring until the mixture thickens and becomes creamy (about 1-2 minutes).
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each praline.
- Let cool completely (at least 20 minutes) before serving.
