MAPLE PEPPER PECANS

I cannot, just cannot, allow myself to have even one of these as I'm setting them out or I know there will be none left for the party. They're best eaten still a little warm (though be careful that they're not hot or everyone will have a burnt mouth) though still very good cold and, as with the olives, make a good present, bunged into a jar and tied with a ribbon or somesuch.

Categories     dessert

Yield 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons sea salt
1 to 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 cups pecans

Steps:

  • In a large heavy skillet, over a medium heat, warm the oil. Stir in the sugar, salt, cayenne, and pepper. Mix well, until sugar starts to melt. Add the pecans and coat thoroughly.
  • Drain the pecans on a baking sheet and cool.
  • Store in an airtight container, in the refrigerator, for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality pecans. Fresh, plump pecans with no signs of mold or damage will yield the best results.
  • Make sure the pecans are evenly coated in the maple syrup mixture. Use a spoon or your hands to toss the pecans in the mixture until they are all evenly coated.
  • Spread the pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them roast evenly.
  • Roast the pecans at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time. The recipe calls for roasting the pecans at 300°F for 30-35 minutes, but the actual time may vary depending on your oven. Keep an eye on the pecans and remove them from the oven as soon as they are fragrant and lightly browned.
  • Let the pecans cool completely before serving. This will help them to crisp up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These maple pepper pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or addition to salads, desserts, and other dishes. They are also a great gift for friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a sweet and savory treat that everyone will love.
