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.

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 fresh pecans. Fresh pecans have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than stale pecans.
  • Toast the pecans before coating them. Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more crispy.
  • Use a light-colored sugar. A light-colored sugar, such as granulated sugar or brown sugar, will help the pecans retain their light color.
  • Add the cinnamon and sugar mixture while the pecans are still warm. This will help the mixture adhere to the pecans.
  • Spread the pecans out in a single layer. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Bake the pecans for 10-15 minutes, or until they are lightly browned. Keep an eye on them, as they can burn easily.
  • Let the pecans cool completely before serving. This will help them set and become crispy.
