I love to add these pecans to salads of all kinds. Of course, they are pretty great just as they are! Feel free to adjust the seasoning to suit your individual taste. Also, walnuts and mixed nuts are really good fixed this way. Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons water |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
2 cups pecan halves |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
2. Butter a large, heavy cookie sheet.
3. In a small, heavy saucepan, combine first 4 ingredients.
4. Over medium heat, stir until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil.
5. Boil 2 minutes.
6. Add pecans and stir until they are coated with the mixture, about 1 minute.
7. Transfer pecans to the cookie sheet, spreading evenly into a single layer.
8. Bake until pecans are just starting to brown, about 13 minutes.
9. Transfer to another cookie sheet that is lined with wax paper.
10. Separate the pecans and cool completely.
11. Store in an airtight container.
