CREOLE PECAN PRALINES 
This is the Southern mammie’s answer to the French, in New Orleans, during Napbuttern’s time, to their love of sweets when asked for a recipe: “Honey I never wrote em down but jes reemembered em by heart". To this day you can see them peddle their Pralines on the streets of New Orleans and return home to make another batch.

3 cups light brown sugar
1/4 cup butter
1 1/2 cups pecan halves
1 cup cream
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix sugar, butter and cream. Stir gently and cook until a small amount dropped in cold water forms a soft ball. Add the pecan halves and cinnamon. Beat until almost cold, then drop by spoon fulls onto slightly greased marble slab.
