Steps:
- Mix together sugar and sour cream in a heavy 2 1/2 quart saucepan.
- Cook over a low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 240 degrees (or soft ball stage).
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
- Continue to stir until the mixture begins to cool.
- Add pecans, making sure all of them are coated.
- Place pecans individually on wax paper to cool.
Tips for Making Glazed Pecans:
- Choose fresh pecans. Fresh pecans are plump and have a light brown color. Avoid pecans that are shriveled or have dark spots.
- Use a good quality glaze. The glaze is what gives the pecans their flavor, so it's important to use a good quality one. A simple glaze made with sugar, water, and vanilla extract is a good option, but you can also get creative and use different flavors, such as maple syrup, cinnamon, or chili powder.
- Roast the pecans before glazing them. Roasting the pecans helps to bring out their flavor and make them more crispy. You can roast the pecans in the oven or on the stovetop.
- Don't overcrowd the pecans on the baking sheet. If you overcrowd the pecans, they won't cook evenly. Make sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Watch the pecans closely while they're baking. The pecans can burn easily, so it's important to watch them closely while they're baking. Stir them occasionally to ensure they cook evenly.
Conclusion:
Glazed pecans are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or used as a topping for desserts, salads, and other dishes. They're also a great gift for friends and family. With a little practice, you'll be able to make perfect glazed pecans every time.
