The praline women of New Orleans sold sweetness for pennies and built something much bigger with it. 🍬

Pralines began in France. The story goes that a seventeenth-century cook for a French diplomat, the Duke of Plessis-Praslin, coated almonds in caramelized sugar, and the confection took his master's name. French colonists brought the idea to Louisiana. Here almonds were hard to come by, but pecans grew everywhere, and sugarcane was grown nearby. Cooks added cream, and the praline turned from a hard candy into the soft, sugary patty people know today.

Many of the women who made and sold them were free women of color and, after emancipation, Black Creole women. In the 1800s they sold pralines in the French Quarter, near Jackson Square and in the markets, carrying them in baskets covered with white cloth. Many wore the bright cotton headwrap called a tignon, with an apron over a long dress. For some women, selling pralines was one of the few ways to earn an income of their own.

It was small money, made one nickel at a time. But women who sold candy from a basket paid rent, bought food, and in some families helped send children to school. Visitors wrote about the praline sellers and remembered them long after they forgot the buildings.

Notice how the word is pronounced here. In much of the country the candy is a PRAY-leen. In Louisiana it is a PRAW-leen, one more sign that the sweet kept its Louisiana accent.

Pralines are now sold in candy shops and airports across the state, but the first hands to make a living from them were not shop owners. They were women standing in the sun with a basket, a smile and a recipe handed down.

Some of the best things on the Louisiana table came with a story of survival folded into the recipe.

The next time you bite into a praline, you may be tasting a living earned one nickel at a time. 🍬
