My grandma makes these every year for the holidays. It's always handy to make extra for later snacking! They are relatively quick and easy to make and taste wonderful. I love the smell of these when they're in the oven.

I found this recipe on a can of evaporated milk many years ago, and I make up many batches each year to take to parties and give as gifts at Christmas. These are wonderful.

Time 15m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups shelled pecan halves

Steps:

In a large sauce pan over medium heat, combine evaporated milk, sugar, water and vanilla.
Heat mixture, stirring often, until sugar is dissolved.
Add cinnamon and stir. Some may float on top.
Add 3 cups of pecans to mixture and stir to cover.
Continue stirring pecans in mixture until pecans become coated well and mixture cooks away (gets absorbed/crystalized on the the pecans).
Spread hot coated pecans on wax paper; try to separate them as you spread them on the paper.
Let pecans cool completely.
Break apart pecans and store in air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
To give as gifts, put in decorative glass jars or decorative tins lined with wax paper.
NOTE: I've tried using brown sugar (1:1 with the white sugar), but the pecans have a tendency to come out sticky and the sugars don't get 'crystalized'. I have not tried these with turbinado or unbleached cane sugar yet. If they don't turn out right, I'll have to keep them for myself !

Tips:

Use fresh pecans, not stale or rancid ones. Fresh pecans should be plump and have a light brown color. Avoid pecans that are shriveled or have dark spots.
Preheat the oven before baking the pecans. This will help the pecans to cook evenly.
Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will prevent the pecans from sticking to the pan and will make cleanup easier.
Don't overcrowd the pecans on the baking sheet. Spread them out in a single layer so that they can cook evenly.
Bake the pecans until they are fragrant and lightly browned, about 10-12 minutes. Be careful not to overbake them, or they will become dry and hard.
Toss the pecans with the cinnamon sugar mixture while they are still warm from the oven. This will help the pecans to evenly coat with the sugar mixture.
Let the pecans cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from becoming sticky.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon sugared pecans are a delicious and easy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just to have on hand for a quick snack. These pecans are also a great way to use up leftover pecans from other recipes. So next time you have a craving for something sweet and crunchy, reach for a handful of cinnamon sugared pecans. You won't be disappointed!
