SPICED HOLIDAY PRALINES
Living in the South, Elizabeth Choinski has seen plenty of pralines in her time, flavored with the likes of chocolate and coffee. But she had never come upon pralines imbued with the classic spice flavors of the holidays. So she made her own, mixing cloves and cinnamon into the pot. The resulting pralines are superb: aromatic, creamy as they melt in your mouth, then crunchy from the nuts.

Steps:
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, cane syrup, pecans and 1/2 cup water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches 235 degrees on a candy thermometer.
- Remove saucepan from heat and immediately stir in butter, vanilla extract and spices. Allow mixture to cool for 10 minutes.
- Carefully using a hand-held mixer, or a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip until mixture changes to a lighter color and becomes creamy and just starts to stiffen as it cools (it should still be warm). The pecans will break up a bit.
- Use a tablespoon-size cookie dough scoop to drop mixture onto two parchment-paper-lined baking sheets (12 pralines on each sheet). Use a spatula to flatten each praline. Let cool completely and store in a tin, creating separate layers with wax paper.

CASHEW PRALINE
Steps:
- Grind the brittle with the oil in a food processor until it has completely broken down and almost liquefied. Boom: it's praline. Look at how easy that was. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality cashews for the best flavor and texture.
- Toast the cashews before coating them in the praline mixture. This will help the coating adhere better and give the cashews a nice crunch.
- Use a candy thermometer to ensure that the praline mixture reaches the correct temperature. This will prevent the mixture from becoming too thick or too thin.
- Be careful when adding the cashews to the praline mixture. The mixture is very hot and can cause burns.
- Spread the coated cashews out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and let them cool completely before storing them.
