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
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!

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 acb39470@bellsouth.net 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
Danielle says
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)
Andi says
Yea, for canning, can it all be done the same and then proccessed in a bath of water???
Millie Castillo says

Andrea says
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!!!!!!!!!

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!
Julie says
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?
inbal Weisman says
That looks so delicious!
Kate at Centsational Girl says
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 !
