This dessert sauce is simple and easy to whip up--it takes no time at all. It makes a charming hostess gift packaged in a glass container with a pretty bow and also turns plain pound cake or ice cream into something special. Always good at this time of year when you want an easy dessert when family gathers. The recipe comes from The Novice Chef.
1 cup pecan halves
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
3/4 cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups light brown sugar
3/4 cup evaporated milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon corn syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Arrange pecans on baking sheet. Toast until browned and
fragrant, stirring halfway, about 8 minutes. Set aside.
Combine the brown sugar, evaporated
milk, butter and corn syrup.
Bring to a simmer, whisking, and simmer
for approximately three minutes. It
should thicken slightly and coat the back of a spoon.
Stir in the vanilla extract, salt and
toasted pecans. The sauce will thicken
more as it cools.
Serve praline sauce warm over ice
cream, pancakes, cakes or bread pudding.
Refrigerate leftover sauce
and heat it in the microwave or on the stovetop before using.

A
Park Avenue princess discovers the dark side of 1930s New York when a
debutante ball turns deadly in this gripping historical mystery for
readers of Victoria Thompson, Anne Perry, and Rhys Bowen.
Manhattan,
1938. Tired of being trapped in the gilded cage of her family’s
expectations, Elizabeth Adams has done what no self-respecting socialite
would think to do: She’s gotten herself a job. Although Elizabeth’s
dream is to one day see her photographs on the front page of the Daily Trumpet, for now she’s working her way up as the newsroom’s gal Friday.
But
fetching coffee isn’t exactly her idea of fun, so when veteran reporter
Ralph Kaminsky needs a photographer to fill in for a last-minute
assignment, Elizabeth jumps at the chance. At the Waldorf Hotel,
Elizabeth is tasked with tracking down the season’s “It girl,” Gloria
DeWitt, who will be making her society debut. Working her own
connections to New York’s upper crust, Elizabeth manages to land an
exclusive interview with Gloria.
Then
Gloria’s stepmother is shot dead in a Waldorf bathroom, placing
Elizabeth at the scene of a headline-worthy scandal: “Murder of a
Society Dame.” Now Elizabeth will have to get the scoop on the killer
before her good name gets dragged through the gossip columns—or worse. .
