YUMMY CANDY COATED PECANS
I'm not typically a "nut" person. My friend had my husband and I over for dinner and she made these and put them in a salad. My husband isn't normally a nut person either but he begged me to get the recipe from her (not typical). You can eat them plain but we like them in a simple salad with balsamic vinegarette dressing. Oh so good!

Tips for Making Candied Pecans:
- Use fresh pecans. Fresh pecans have a higher oil content, which helps them to candy better.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot. A heavy-bottomed pot will help to distribute the heat evenly and prevent the pecans from burning.
- Cook the pecans over medium heat. Medium heat will help to prevent the pecans from burning and will allow the sugar to caramelize slowly.
- Stir the pecans frequently. Stirring the pecans frequently will help to prevent them from sticking together and will ensure that they are evenly coated with the sugar.
- Watch the pecans carefully. The pecans can burn quickly, so it is important to watch them closely and remove them from the heat as soon as they are done.
- Let the pecans cool completely before storing them. The pecans will continue to harden as they cool, so it is important to let them cool completely before storing them.
Conclusion:
Candied pecans are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own or used as a topping for desserts. They are also a great gift for friends and family. With a little time and effort, you can easily make candied pecans at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
