Pralines (Praw-lins), sweet pecan candies, made for Cajun and Creole children. I loved it in the fall, the air had a special smell and the pecan would dance in the wind until they fell on the ground not far from our pot. Well actually sometimes we found a big stick and threw it into the branches so the pecans would fall to the ground.
 
Ingredients
2 cups pecans 1 stick butter
1 can (5 oz.) can pet evaporated milk 2 cups sugar
1 tbsp vanilla  
 
Directions
Mix all ingredients together in a glass microwave bowl...microwave on HIGH for 7 minutes. Take out and stir well.....return to the microwave and cook for another 7 minutes on HIGH. Take out and stir well, again, until mixture thickens. If mixture does not thicken, return to microwave for another minute or two...take out and stir well...'Drop by spoonful onto waxed or parchment paper...Cool completely before storing into container.
