Grandmother'S Pralines - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. white syrup
1 c. brown sugar
3 c. white sugar
3 Tbsp. water
1/2 tsp. baking soda
4 Tbsp. butter
4 c. chopped pecans

Preparation

Peel grapefruit and cut in small strips.
Cook them three times in water, bringing it to a boil each time.
(This helps take the bitterness out of the peel.)
Make syrup by using equal parts of water and sugar (approximately 1 cup of sugar to 2 grapefruit). Add grapefruit and cook until transparent.
Put in colander to drain.
Roll in granulated sugar.
Let dry about 24 to 48 hours. To test: Bend peels on plate.
It remains bent, it is done.
