Leche Quemada
A creamy cinnamon candy similar to a praline
Ingredients
- 2 12 oz. cans evaporated milk
- 2 12 oz. cans water
- 5 cups sugar
- 6 cinnamon sticks
Method
Mix the first three (3) ingredients together in a large pot until the sugar has dissolved. Add the cinnamon sticks and place over low heat. For a creamier consistency start with a low heat and gradually raise to a medium heat. Stir constantly until mixture boils. Boil until candy reaches soft ball stage (234-240 degrees). As candy reaches soft ball stage it will need to be watched carefully and stirred. At this stage you should also remove the cinnamon sticks. Remove from heat and beat until candy around the edge of the pan begins to lose it's gloss. Quickly drop by teaspoon onto waxed paper. A pecan half may be added if desired.
