Praline Sauce
1 1/4 cups chopped pecans
7 Tablespoons butter (divided)
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
3 Tablespoons flour
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 of butter. Melt butter and cook with the pecans 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 with a plastic or wooden spoon.
Pour into a mason jar (or multiple, depending on how many gifts you’re giving).
Last step: Add a tag and bow and you have made some sweet little gifts! Consider packaging with a cool ice cream scoop (homemade ice cream would be even more delicious if you have an ice cream maker) to make it extra special. Put instructions on the back of the tag to keep sauce refrigerated and to reheat in low heat in the microwave to pour over ice cream.
If eating immediately after the main meal, let it cool down to room temperature before.
YUM! Isn’t this praline sauce recipe so easy? You can add it to your apple pie, bread pudding, or with a small amount of cream. It’s become my favorite way to garnish my desserts!

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.
I will check on canning to make it shelf stable.
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 🙂
This looks amazing!
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 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.
Since it was not processed I would keep it refrigerated. It can be heated slightly in the microwave to pour onto ice cream.
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 _____”
I love this idea for teachers gifts. Does it need to be refrigerated?
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.
