Vee's Pralines
Melt in your mouth good. – These pecan pralines are rich and buttery, sugary with a nice pecan crunch and very addicting.
In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, syrup, water and pecans. Stir over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil. Continue cooking until and stirring until the soft ball stage. Soft ball stage has a temperature between 234 and 238 degrees. Without a candy thermometer you can judge the stage when the candy mixture dropped in cold water has a soft texture and will stick together in a ball when rolled between your fingers.
Remove from heat and add the margarine and the vanilla. Allow to cool a little. Then whip until creamy and lighter in color. Drop by tablespoonsful on waxed paper.
