Homemade Pralines and Cream (Vargas and Gulling) Recipe

Miscellaneous Untried Recipes

This is from a collection of recipes from books I own, but which I haven't myself tried yet. However, you can have faith that at least the authors themselves have tried them, so they're not deadly or anything.

From Cordials From Your Kitchen by Pattie Vargas and Rich Gulling:

• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 1 cup brandy
• 1 1/2 teaspoons concentrated praline flavoring oil
• 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 2 1/2 cups Cream Base

Boil brown sugar and water together. When dissolved, set aside to cool, and then add to container. Combine everything in container, adding cream base last (I don't know if it's significant, but they specify that it be done last in the book). Cover and shake until well mixed. Store in fridge for up to 1 month (more if you're more adventurous, but then you can't sue these guys - or me :-).
