3 c. sugar
1 c. dark brown sugar
1 can cream (evaporated milk)
1/4 lb. butter
1 c. pecans

In a large pan, mix sugar and cream well. Place on moderate heat and boil. Cook mixture until a ball forms when you drop it in cold water. Remove from heat. Add butter and pecans. Beat by hand for approximately 3 minutes. (If candy starts to become too hard, add just a little cream.) Drop, using a large spoon, onto waxed paper. Makes approximately 24 pralines.
