Categories     Snack

Yield 16 1/4 cup

Number Of Ingredients 7

1/4 cup bourbon
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
2 teaspoons cinnamon
4 cups pecans
cinnamon and sugar for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Combine first five ingredients in a medium size bowl, add pecans and stir to coat.
  • Transfer pecans to a skillet and cook on medium high heat for 7 to 8 minutes. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
  • Remove pecans from skillet and spread evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • While the pecans are hot and gooey sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
  • This step is optional, but I think it helps the pecans dry a little bit. Place baking sheet in a preheated oven set on 175°F on the middle rack then turn the oven off. Let the pecans sit in the oven for a hour or so.
  • Once the pecans have cooled completely, place in an air tight container.

Provided by Alan in SW Florida

Categories     Fruit

Time 1h

Yield 4 1/2 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup top-quality Bourbon
1 lb pecan halves
1 tablespoon corn oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Angostura bitters
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Simmer the bourbon in a small saucepan over medium heat until reduced by a quarter, just a few minutes. Blanch the pecans in boiling water for 1 minute ( blanching the pecans in boiling water is an old Chinese trick that makes them especially crisp), then drain.
  • Combine the bourbon, oil, Worcestershire sauce, bitters, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the HOT pecans and toss. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Spread the pecans in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake until the nuts are crisp and the liquid has evaporated, 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Turn the nuts into a clean bowl.
  • Combine the cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Toss with the nuts and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality pecans. Fresh, plump pecans will yield the best results.
  • Toast the pecans before glazing them. This will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a good quality bourbon. A smooth, flavorful bourbon will make a big difference in the taste of the glaze.
  • Don't overcook the glaze. The glaze should be thick and syrupy, but it shouldn't be hard or brittle.
  • Let the pecans cool completely before serving. This will help to set the glaze and prevent the pecans from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Bourbon Old Fashioned Glazed Pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just enjoying at home. With their sweet, smoky, and nutty flavor, these pecans are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
