Pecan Praline Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients except the pecans in a heavy saucepan. Over medium heat stir mixture until it comes to a boil. Turn heat down to medium-low and continue to stir. Spoon mixture up on sides of pan to melt any sugar that hasn't melted.
• Cook until mixture reaches 238 to 241 degrees F on a candy thermometer or soft ball stage. Stir in the pecans. Remove from heat. Stir until the mixture begins to thicken and becomes creamy and cloudy. Drop onto parchment paper, buttered pan or buttered marble slab, using a spoon or ice cream scoop. Let cool.

• Serve the waffles with the toasted pecan praline sauce, dust with confectioner's sugar and garnish with a sprig of mint.

Steps:

• Lightly butter two baking sheets or line with waxed paper; set aside. In a saucepan, combine the sugars, milk and marshmallows. Cook and stir over low heat until marshmallows are completely melted. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until a candy thermometer reads 234°-240° (soft-ball stage)., Without stirring or scraping, pour hot liquid into another saucepan. Add the pecans, butter, vanilla and cinnamon. Stir rapidly until mixture is thickened and creamy, about 3 minutes. Drop quickly by rounded tablespoonfuls onto prepared pans. Flatten slightly. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Generously butter baking sheets.
• In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine brown sugar, white sugar, water and butter. Bring to a rapid boil and stir in pecans. Continue to cook and stir until large bubbles form on the surface, pecans begin to look sugary and mixture just begins to color. Remove from heat and drop by rounded spoonfuls onto prepared sheets. Let cool completely.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the sugars, flour, salt, water and orange juice until smooth. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in the marshmallows and butter; cook and stir until blended. Remove from the heat; stir in pecans and vanilla. Serve warm.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, combine maple syrup, sugar, salt, and cream. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until sugar is dissolved.
• Raise heat to medium-high, and let cook until thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon.

Steps:

• In a medium, heavy-duty saucepan, melt the butter. Stir in the sugar and corn syrup and cook, stirring regularly, until the mixture becomes deep amber, the color of coffee with a touch of cream.
• Remove from the heat and whisk in the water. Since the mixture can splatter, you may wish to wear an oven mitt. (The sugar might seize when you add the water, but it will smooth out as you stir it.) Bring the sauce to a low boil, whisking, until the sugar is dissolved and the sauce is smooth.
• Remove from the heat and stir in the cream, pecans, salt, whiskey, and vanilla. Serve warm.
• Variation
• To make Pecan, Cranberry, and Praline Sauce, substitute 1/4 cup (30 g) of chopped dried cranberries for 1/4 cup (30 g) of the pecans.
• Storage
• This sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Rewarm it gently in a microwave or by stirring in a saucepan over very low heat.

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the pork chops until no longer pink in the center, 5 to 7 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Stir the corn syrup into the milk mixture; fold the pecans into the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the pork chops to serve.
