Twenty years ago, hubby and I went to New Orleans and discovered Loretta’s Authentic Pralines in the French Market. At that time Miss Loretta herself stirred the candy in the big copper pot, today she is much more business savvy than that, but the recipe is the same.
I adored the pralines, brought them home to the boys, John went crazy for them, Ryan, who never was a sweet eater, didn’t know what all the fuss was about. John started making them with a recipe I brought home from some ladies in a little restaurant in Louisiana, they told me the secret is to make them using Pet Evaporated Milk, and he’s made them ever since.
He and Deanna were in New Orleans over Memorial Day, and what arrived in the mail yesterday – this box of pralines from Loretta’s.
Law-dee, that boy sure is good to his mama…. You’re the BEST, Johnno, I’ll think of you with every bite I take…
