MawMaw knows how to make points with her mother-in-law. She love to make her some pralines; they are really easy to make but don't tell her Mom-in-law...she thinks her daughter-in-law has slaved all day. These type pralines are exceptional.
Ingredients
4 cups sugar
1 stick butter
1 large can pet milk
2 cups coconut
2 cups pecans
2 tbsp light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla
dash of salt
Directions
Combine all ingredients together except corn syrup and vanilla. Cook over medium to low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring constantly. Don’t scorch! When the sides of the pot feel gritty, turn off fire and continue to stir. Add corn syrup and vanilla. Pour in buttered pan; cool and cut into squares.
