I found this recipe years ago (in a magazine but can’t remember which one) and I must warn you it is so yummy and addictive! The best part about this sauce is that it is made in the microwave, so it is fast and simple and makes a great homemade gift.
Praline Sauce
1 1/4 cups chopped pecans
7 Tablespoons butter (divided)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
3 Tablespoons flour
MY LATEST VIDEOS
3/4 cup light corn syrup
2/3 cup evaporated milk
Makes 3 cups of sauce.
Place chopped pecans in a microwave dish with 3 Tablespoons butter. Cook for 8 – 10 minutes, stirring twice. Watch the pecans closely to not burn them.
In another microwave safe bowl (I use a glass batter bowl because it has a lip for pouring) place remaining butter and heat until melted. Whisk in brown sugar, flour, and light corn syrup until blended. Cook on high 6-8 minutes, stirring twice, until the sugar is dissolved.
Add in 2/3 cup evaporated milk and the pecans, stir well.
Pour into jars.
Add a tag and bow and you have made some sweet little gifts! Consider packaging with a cool ice cream scoop to make it extra special. Put instructions on the back of the tag to keep sauce refrigerated and to reheat slightly in microwave to pour over ice cream.
YUM!

How long of a shelf life does this have? Can they be mailed after they are made or should I set the jars in boiling water like canning? I would be afraid of mold if not refrigerated shortly after making them.
Hello, I also was so excited to find this recipe. I know it’s been asked several times, but I didn’t see an answer and really would like to know if these can be water bathed To keep on the shelf for storing and gift giving. If so do you please know how long they would take To process. I appreciate your time and help. Sincerely, Mrs. Sherry Siedlecki
Wow! At last I got a blog from where I be able to in
fact get valuable data regarding my study and knowledge.
When I initially commented I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and
now every time a comment is added I receive 4 emails with the exact same comment.
Is there a way you are able to remove me from that service?
Thanks!
My pecans also burnt within 4 minutes. How strong (in Watts) was the microwave used in the original recipe? It would affect the timing quite a bit.
Wow, that’s what I was seeking for, what a data!
present here at this web site, thanks admin of this web site.
cool
I just made this and it was delicious! I made it on the stove top because I’m not a fan of microwave cooking. I browned the pecans and then melted the butter in a medium cooker and added the ingredients as per the recipe. I will make this during the Holidays and also as gifts on special occasions. Thanks so much for posting this recipe!
its fantastic, thank you very much ..
My pecans burnt after 4 minutes, what did I do wrong? Would the cook time really vary that much?
wow! its amazing idea
This is so yummy! Just made this. I wish I knew how long it would last in the fridge. I want to make up a lot and give as gifts.
How long will this safely last in the fridge? Can this be processed to keep in the pantry – if so, how would I do this and how long would it safely keep in the pantry?
Thank you
This sounds absolutely delicious! And I don’t know why you couldn’t can them in a water bath to make them shelf stable. I’m certainly gonna try it! I’ll be giving this as gifts to everyone!
I’ve got to try this recipe it sounds delish! I’m wondering how long they would keep in the refrigerator, I’d love to make them ahead of time, anyone know?
I am celiac … so gluten free. Could corn starch be used for the flour?
I would love to find a way to can this so I could include it in make ahead gift baskets. I make 15 each year as party favors and I don’t have the room in the fridge for all the baskets. If anyone knows how to do it so it doesn’t need refrigeration I would love to know!!!!
I am sooo trying this! Looks delicious. I’m thinking neighbor gift!
Thanks!
This would make a great teacher gift! Thanks
Looks gorgeous! How long would it keep for in the fridge?
What quantity does this recipe make? What is a substitute for light corn syrup – golden syrup?
These look gorgeous & I’d like to try making them this Christmas. 🙂
To Danielle from 11/3/2010—if you go to Bisquick recipes they should have a recipe for impossible pecan pie –fantastic for those who don’t care for the crusts-if you look for it and can’t find it -email me at [email protected] and I will look it up in my recipes-they also have one for a pumpkin pie that’s good too-we use it every tear for thanksgiving
What a yummy idea! Will be making for neighbors. Included this in my “Non-sewing Handmade Gift Ideas” blog: http://www.amytriedit.com/2010/11/non-sewing-handmade-gift-ideas.html
oooh….ooooooooh….man does that speak to my sweet little taste buds. It’s like pecan pie (my absolute favorite) without the crust (my least favorite part of said pie). looks like some dangerous stuff (says my waist line….but we won’t pay any attention to her)
Yea, for canning, can it all be done the same and then proccessed in a bath of water???
Hi!! This looks amazing. Questions could this be used as a cake filling?
You can buy Leifheit 2-Cup Perserving Jars Set of 6 online at target.com! THANKS for the yummy recipe! Think I will make for Christmas presents this year!
This would be perfect for ice cream toppings. I love it as gifts too.
Yummy.
Just delivered these today to my son’s Enrichment/Specials teachers (PE, Music, Library, Counselor, etc…) along with an individual portion of White Fruitcake! Everyone was so impressed and so excited to get home to try the sauce! We all agreed that this would taste just as good over a slice of plain cheesecake!!!!!!! Great recipe ~ so easy to follow…I JUST LOVE THIS SITE!!!!!!!!!
I made this exactly as your recipe said to and it was absolutely DIVINE! Thank you!
why did i read this right before bed? I knew it was about yummy food…so kicking myself lol this looks amazing!!
This is a wonderful idea! I too am thinking of making some up for Christmas gifts. I’d love to hear how long you think it will last unopened/unrefridgerated and opened/refridgerated. I’ll keep checking back!
Oh this looks amazing! This is going to be a stocking stuffer for my mom – she adores pralines and cream icecream! But how long do you think this will be good for in the refrigerator?
That looks so delicious!
This looks deeeeeee-lish! I love the idea of keeping it in jars and giving it away as gifts. How long will it keep if refridgerated ? I looooooooove praline sauce. I put it on my pumpkin pie !
hugs
Kate
Hi .. I probably the only one who is going to ask this, but my family can’t eat any kind of nuts. I wonder if this is going to be still delish without the pecans? I guess it’s going to be just regular caramel sauce. Thanks for this fantastic idea though, I will definitely make this for the teachers!
How DARE you provide me with one more recipe to widen my hips?? Oh this looks amazingly delicious. I must say, I fully approve of the red-and-white polka dotted bow, too. Excellent taste.
You can find the jars at http://www.theconsumerlink.com/Leifheit/detail/TCL+36005/105
Oh I am soooo making some of this. My mother is a huge fan of pecan praline. I bet she would love love love this!
If you wanted to can it for shelf-stable storage, how would you go about it? I’m new to canning in general 🙂
I will check on canning to make it shelf stable.
This looks amazing!
I am ready to make this right now!! YUM. What a great idea.
As a teacher…I would LOVE this for a gift!
Where did you find the cute little jars? They are perfect for this treat.
I was worried someone was going to ask about the jars. I purchased them while living in Germany. I haven’t searched for them locally or online, but here are the details from the box: Made by Leifheit, 6 Marmelade – und Geleeglaser mit deckel 1/4 lt ( 6 Marmelade and Jelly Jars with Lids). They hold 1 cup.
I love this idea for teachers gifts. Does it need to be refrigerated?
Wouldn’t it be cute for teachers with a nice ice cream scoop and a tag that says, “Thanks for making this year scoops of fun for _____”
Since it was not processed I would keep it refrigerated. It can be heated slightly in the microwave to pour onto ice cream.
It’s too early in the morning for sweets, but this is looking like the exception. It looks so yummy, going to have to make some for my family, great post thanks so much.
