This is a very old family recipe that we have been using since my great-great- grandmother. It was originally made in a cast iron Dutch oven. We love it and there is no other recipe as rich as this one. Pralines are a big part of our Cajun family and we make them all the time. I know you will enjoy this as much as we do.
