Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

Do you roast your pecans before cooking with this recipe?
No, you do not.

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.

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.
