Harvest Pecan Pralines

“Stir until it loses its shine, then work fast.”

You'll need

• 1½ cups sugar
• ¾ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup milk
• 6 tbsp butter
• 1½ cups pecans
• 1 tsp vanilla

How to make it

1. Bring the sugars, milk and butter to a boil, stirring. Careful: hot sugar burns, so grown-ups only for this part.
2. Cook to 238°F (soft ball).
3. Off the heat, stir in the pecans and vanilla until it thickens and turns cloudy.
4. Drop spoonfuls onto wax paper and let them set.
