Microwave Buttermilk Pralines

"I found this recipe when my stove was broken and I wanted to make pralines for my father, who loved them. These have turned out well for me, but the cooking time can be tricky, especially when the humidity is up--don't try to make them when it's humid. They are very good!"

directions

  • Combine sugar, soda, buttermilk and butter in large (3-4 quart) microwave or glass bowl. Microwave 5 minutes on medium, uncovered, to melt. Stir until butter is blended. Microwave on medium, uncovered, for 22-25 minutes or until soft ball stage. Add vanilla, beat with mixer until mixture forms soft peaks. Mix in pecans before finishing beating, if desired. Drop by teaspoons onto wax paper to make patties. If you prefer to have the pecans on top, place them on at this point instead of mixing them in before. If it gets stiff while dropping, heat briefly in the microwave. Cool until firm. Store in airtight container.

I am a clinical social worker, working as a mental health therapist at an alternative school..? I am diabetic, and recently have begun working on counting carbs to get my blood sugar under control. I am a single parent with an adult son who has Asperger Syndrome, an autistic spectrum disorder. He's a picky eater, has some sensory issues I have to pay attention to. I also aid my elderly mother. I enjoy reading science fiction and fantasy, playing folk guitar and singing.? Feeding two is a challenge for me because I was raised cooking for a crowd. But I love cooking for crowds, and for holidays, when I can!
