| Does anyone have a really good recipe for candied or any flavored pecans? I want to make some for the holidays for gifts (especially since we have pecan trees and have more than we can eat). At the Texas Ranch Roundup we had here a few weeks back they were selling cinnamon flavored pecans and they were to die for. Any recipes would be greatly appreciated!!! |

With this same recipe substitute 1/2 teas. cayenne pepper, and 1/4 teas. cajun seasoning for the nutmeg and cloves and you have sweet -n- hot nuts. Works with peanuts, cashews and almonds too.

If it's not illegal, unsafe, or immoral, why not try anything once? Who knows? You may come back for a second helping! |

Here are the "Gourmet Pecans" I make every Christmas -
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg white
3 TBSP. Grand Marnier or Kahlua, or any strong flavored liqueur
4 or more cups pecan halves
Preheat oven to 325. Line a jelly roll pan with foil. Combine sugar and salt in bowl. Set aside. Whisk egg white and liqueur in a large bowl. Add pecans and stir to coat. Add sugar mixture, stir. Spread pecans in single layer on prepared pan. Bake 20-25 minutes until pecans are crisp, stirring every 10 minutes, from outside toward center of pan. Remove from the pan and immediately loosen pecans from foil. Cool on wax paper. |
