Pecan candy that tastes great. If you like pralines, this is a great candy. It is a quick way to make a praline like candy!
This recipe calls for vanilla extract and not flavoring. From Cd-Kitchen - Vanilla extract is a vanilla-flavored product made by macerating chopped vanilla beans in a water-alcohol solution to extract the flavor; its strength is measured in folds. The contents of ethyl alcohol is at least 35% by volume (edocket.access.gpo.gov); flavoring on the other hand has less than 35%.
Ingredients
1 3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup water
5 tsp vanilla extract
pinch of cinnamon
1 cup pecans
Directions
Boil down sugar and water until it reaches a dark color. Lower your fire then add everything else except the pecans. Boil for a couple more of minutes. Then add the pecans and let them boil for a couple more minutes. Pour and spread on a pan. Let cool, then cut into pieces. Enjoy!
