Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 Cups Sugar
5 Cups Pecans
4 Tablespoons Karo syrup
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Cup Condensed milk
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Cup Water

Mix all ingredients except butter, vanilla, and pecans. Cook on low fire until
t
he mixture forms a soft ball in cold water. Remove from fire. Add butter,
vani
lla, and pecans, and beat until the mixture holds its shape. Spoon onto
buttere

all is spooned out, add a little water, and heat over. Or you can let it stand
on low heat while spooning out. If you have never tasted freshly made pralines,
made from fresh Louisiana pecans, you have just never really lived. Justin

n says, "Doris is the much better half (wife) of my good friend Gordon
Martin, t
he sheriff of St. James Parish. Every Christmas Eve we go by to see them after
watching the bonfires that are burned on the levees along the Mississippi River
to light the way for Papa Noel (Santa Claus).
