JERRY'S SUGARED PECANS

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.

SOUTHERN CINNAMON SUGARED PECANS



Southern Cinnamon Sugared Pecans image

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.

Provided by kitty.rock

Categories     Candy

Time 15m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

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 raw pecan halves for the best results. If using roasted pecans, reduce the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
  • To make sure the pecans are evenly coated, toss them in the egg white mixture several times during baking.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the sugar syrup by dropping a small amount into a bowl of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pecans. They should be golden brown and slightly caramelized, but not burnt.
  • Let the pecans cool completely before storing them in an airtight container. They will keep for up to 2 weeks at room temperature or up to 6 months in the freezer.
