Time 35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups pecans (pieces or halves)
1 tablespoon butter
3 tablespoons brown sugar (dark)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
3/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (ground)
1 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup
1 1/2 teaspoon salt (kosher)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat to 350 F. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and spraying the foil with cooking spray.
  • Spread the pecans on the baking sheet and toast them in the oven until dark and fragrant, about 10 minutes. Stir every 3 or 4 minutes.
  • While the pecans are toasting, prepare the coating mixture. Microwave the butter in a large microwave-safe bowl until melted. Stir in the brown sugar, maple syrup, salt, cayenne, and cinnamon.
  • Once the pecans are fragrant, remove them from the oven and pour the hot nuts into the coating mixture, reserving the baking sheet. Be careful as it might splutter and hiss. Stir until the nuts are evenly coated.
  • Pour the nuts back onto the reserved baking sheet, spreading them out into an even layer.
  • Bake for another 10 minutes, stirring after every 3 to 4 minutes. After 10 minutes, remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool and crisp up on the baking sheet.
  • Once cool, break the nuts apart or coarsely chop them.
  • Use them in your favorite recipe or simply serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of pecans. Fresh, plump pecans are best for candying. Avoid any nuts that are cracked or damaged.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Cook the sugar syrup over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar has dissolved and the syrup begins to thicken.
  • Add the pecans to the sugar syrup and stir to coat. Continue cooking over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, or until the nuts are evenly coated and glossy.
  • Remove the pecans from the heat and spread them out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Allow them to cool completely before storing.
  • Store the candied pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Candied pecans are a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed on their own, added to salads, desserts, or used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt. They are also a great gift idea for friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own candied pecans at home. So what are you waiting for?
