directions

    Do you roast your pecans before cooking with this recipe?

  2. dsh4dst REVIEW:

    Add a pinch of sugar to cut down on the extremely sweet taste. Butter the wax paper to keep pralines from sticking and then crumbling when trying to remove from paper.

  3. 2468 REVIEW:

    Excellent-if this recipe hardens to quickly add a small amount of water and heat on low heat until it begins to melt again. Can continue to add water sm. amts.at a time and reheat, as long as necessary. Brings back memories of New Orleans.
