directions

  • In a heavy-bottomed pot or saucepan, combine the sugar, brown sugar, corn syrup, buttermilk, baking soda and kosher salt. Cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes (do not stir or it will become grainy) or until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage, 235 degrees on a candy thermometer. Note: Check your thermometer prior to making.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the butter, vanilla, pecans, orange zest and bacon. Beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until creamy and smooth. Careful, it's hot.
  • Drop the praline mixture by teaspoonfuls onto a silicone baking mat; if you don't have one, simply use buttered parchment or wax paper. Let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes or until cooled. Store in an airtight container.

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
