1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk

1 1/2 cups milk

2 tablespoons molasses

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

 

Praline Sauce (recipe follows)

Praline Sauce:

2 cups granulated sugar
3 tablespoons margarine or butter
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk

1. In a very large pot (mixture foams up while cooking), cook sugar, margarine, baking soda, and buttermilk on medium heat, stirring frequently until sugar is dissolved. Mixture will foam, stir to beat down foaming. The color will begin to caramelize. Cook until a slight brown color, approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
