How to Make Real Deal Pralines
- Combine sugar, corn syrup, water, and butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the pan, ensuring it doesn't touch the bottom.
- Stir constantly until the mixture reaches 245°F (118°C) – the soft-ball stage. Do not stop stirring!
- Remove from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and pecans.
- Pour the mixture onto a buttered marble slab or baking sheet.
- Let the mixture cool slightly until it is no longer sticky (around 110°F/43°C).
- Using buttered spoons or spatulas, quickly shape the pralines into 1-inch balls or desired shapes.
- Place the pralines on parchment paper to cool completely.
- Once cooled and hardened, store the pralines in an airtight container at room temperature.
