Pralines

Amount	Ingredient
1 1/2 cups	sugar
1 1/2	packed brown sugar
1 cup	light cream
3 tablespoons	margarine or butter
2 cups	pecan halves

Preparation Tips:

Butter sides of a heavy 2-quart saucepan. In it, combine sugars and cream. Cook and stir over medium-high heat to boiling. Clip candy thermometer to side of pan. Cook and stir over medium-low heat to 234 dgrees, soft-ball stage (16 to 18 minutes). Remove from heat. Add margarine, but do not stir. Cool, without stirring, to 150 degrees (about 30 minutes). Stir in nuts. Beat till candy just begins to thicken but is still glossy (about 3 minutes). Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper. If candy becomes too stiff, stir in a few drops hot water. Store tightly covered. Makes about 36.
Chocolate Pralines: Prepare as above, except add 2 squares (2 ounces) finely chopped unsweetned chocolate with the margarine.
