Praline Candy

This recipe is from Susan Schmidt, who says, "In my next life, I wanna be Cajun!"

Ingredients:

• 4 cups sugar
• 2 cans of cream (I like Carnation)--canned milk
• 1 stick butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• large bag of pecans (whole or halves)

Cooking Instructions

1. Put 1 cup of water in freezer to use to test "doneness".
2. Combine sugar, cream and vanilla in saucepan.
3. Cook for about 15 minutes on medium setting.
4. Bring to a boil.
5. Add butter.
6. Keep stirring, because mixture will boil over.
7. After 4 to 5 minutes of cook time, drop some in test water from freezer. If it forms a ball, candy is ready.
8. Add pecans and stir a few more minutes to cover pecans. You can butter counter or pan to put candy in after it is finished.
9. Let cool and cut.
