Put the milk and sugar in a porcelain-lined saucepan and cook until almost candy. Draw the pan back, add the butter and nuts, beat until it grains; turn out on a buttered dish and separate in small pieces. --Mrs. D. B. Juglis

Pralinettes

Mom made these candies often. We all loved snacking on them.


1/2 cup evaporated milk, 1 cup brown sugar packed, 1 cup granulated sugar, 2 cups pecans. In saucepan, combine milk and sugars. Stir in pecans. Place over low heat and stir until sugars are dissolved and mixture comes to a boil. Increase heat and cook, stirring constantly, to 236°F on candy thermometer or until a little mixture in cold water forms a soft ball. Remove from heat. Beat until mixture begins to thicken.

Drop rapidly from teaspoon on aluminum foil. If mixture gets too firm, add a teaspoon of hot water. Makes about 2-1/2 dozen pralinettes.
