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:

  • Use fresh pecans: Fresh pecans will have a sweeter and nuttier flavor than older pecans.
  • Toast the pecans before using: Toasting the pecans will bring out their flavor and make them more crispy.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices used in this recipe can be adjusted to your own taste. For a sweeter pecan, use more sugar. For a spicier pecan, add more cayenne pepper.
  • Watch the pecans carefully while they are cooking: Pecans can burn easily, so it is important to watch them closely while they are cooking.
  • Let the pecans cool completely before serving: This will allow the glaze to set and the pecans to crisp up.

Conclusion:

Pepper pecans are a delicious and easy snack that can be enjoyed on their own or added to salads, yogurt, or trail mix. They are also a great gift for friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious pepper pecans at home.
