Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Combine 2 cups water, sugar, allspice, cayenne and paprika in a heavy small saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil until it reaches 220ºF on a candy thermometer, about 3 minute.
  3. Add the pecan halves and cook until syrup clings to the pecans, about 5 minute.
  4. Place the pecans on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper to drain. Drain well.
  5. Pour enough oil into a large heavy saucepan to reach a depth of 1 inch.
  6. Heat oil to 350ºF.
  7. Add pecans, a few at a time, and fry until brown and crisp, about 2 minute THIS is the tricky part.
  8. Working quickly so that the pecans don't burn, use a slotted spoon to transfer pecans to paper towels to drain.
  9. Cool completely.
  10. NOTE: Can be made 1 week ahead and stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
