Mix all ingredients, except the vanilla, in a heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat to soft-ball stage, 236 degrees on a candy thermometer. Stir constantly. Remove from heat. When mixture stops bubbling, stir in the vanilla. Cool slightly, then beat the mixture until it thickens just a bit. Drop candy from a teaspoon onto waxed paper to form patties. (It is helpful to put aluminum foil down on your counter-top or work area first, the put the waxed paper over it.) Allow to cool before carefully removing the pralines from the paper.
