How To Make Pralines

"Whether you pronounce it PRAW-leen or PRAY-leen, you will love this traditional Southern candy. In the 1700s, French settlers brought their recipes for caramelized almonds with them to New Orleans. Cooks soon substituted the locally abundant pecans for the almonds. In much earlier times, pralinieres, Creole black women, often dressed in gingham and a white apron were a frequent sight on Canal Street in the French Quarter where they sold these butter, sugar, and pecan confections."
