JERRY'S SUGARED PECANS



Jerry's Sugared Pecans image

I think making someone else's recipes is a wonderful way to remember them when they're no longer with us. Garth's brother Jerry loved my cooking, and he was a good cook himself. He always made me feel he truly appreciated the meals I made for him, and I loved him for it. He had a wonderful smile and a great spirit. Jerry brought these pecans out to the house one day, and I only stopped eating them when they were gone! The butter and sugar make them crunchy, sweet, and rich.

Yield makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
3 large egg whites
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups pecan halves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with sides with aluminum foil. Pour the butter onto the lined sheet. In a large bowl, mix the egg whites, sugar, and cinnamon. Add the pecan halves and toss until they are fully coated. Spread the pecans onto the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the pecans every 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  • These pecans will still be a bit wet and gooey when you take them out of the oven. As they cool on the baking sheet, they will get crunchy.

Categories     dessert

Time 2h20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

5 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature, plus additional for the skillet
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional for the skillet
3/4 cup plus 2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 cups strawberries, tops removed, sliced in half lengthwise
3/4 cup cold heavy whipping cream
1/4 cup strawberry jam
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Jerry's Sugared Pecans, recipe follows, for serving
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 large egg whites
4 cups pecan halves

Steps:

  • For the buttermilk strawberry skillet cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter a 10-inch cast-iron skillet and dust with flour.
  • Beat the butter and 3/4 cup of the sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer on medium speed. Beat in the vanilla and egg. Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl until combined. With the mixer running, add about a third of the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture, then add about half of the buttermilk. Continue adding the flour and buttermilk in this manner, ending with the flour, mixing just until the batter comes together.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and smooth the top. Place the strawberries on top of the cake batter, pressing down gently. Sprinkle the remaining 2 teaspoons sugar over top. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • For the strawberry whipped cream: Place a mixing bowl and whisk attachment into the freezer 15 minutes prior to using.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the cold whisk attachment, whip the cream until soft peaks form, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the jam and vanilla and continue whipping until stiff peaks form, about 2 minutes more. (If not using immediately, cover and refrigerate.)
  • Serve the cake with the whipped cream and Jerry's Sugared Pecans.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with sides with aluminum foil. Pour the melted butter onto the lined sheet.
  • In a large bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon and egg whites. Add the pecan halves and toss until they are fully coated.
  • Spread the pecans onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the pecans every 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

JERRY'S SUGARED PECANS

Trisha Yearwood's candied pecans from Food Network are a perfect treat for your holiday party.

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Time 55m

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
3 large egg whites
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups pecan halves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with sides with aluminum foil. Pour the butter onto the lined sheet. In a large bowl, mix the egg whites, sugar and cinnamon. Add the pecan halves and toss until they are fully coated. Spread the pecans onto the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the pecans every 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pecans. Fresh pecans will have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than older pecans.
  • Toast the pecans before sugaring them. Toasting the pecans will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a candy thermometer to ensure the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature. If the sugar syrup is not cooked to the correct temperature, the pecans will not be properly coated.
  • Stir the pecans constantly while they are being coated in the sugar syrup. This will help to prevent the pecans from sticking together.
  • Spread the pecans out on a baking sheet to cool. This will help to prevent them from sticking together as they cool.
  • Store the sugared pecans in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to two weeks.

Conclusion:

Jerry's Sugared Pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or holiday gatherings. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make these delicious sugared pecans that are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
