Happy Holidays everyone!

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.

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.
