1/2 cup light brown sugar
Pinch cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 2h15m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 large sweet potatoes
6 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 cup orange juice
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 teaspoon real vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
3/4 cup chopped pecans
9 pecan halves (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375. Bake potatoes until very tender -- about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Let cool, and reduce oven heat to 350.
  • Scoop potatoes out of peels and mash until desired texture. Stir in remaining ingredients and place in casserole dish (9 X 9).
  • Combine topping ingredients and sprinkle over potatoes. Bake until done at 350 -- about 1/2 hours.
  • Optional: stud with 9 pecan halves at even intervals before returning to oven, just to make it look pretty.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality pecans. This will ensure that the glazed pecans have the best flavor and texture.
  • Toast the pecans before glazing them. This will help to bring out their natural flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a variety of spices in the glaze. This will add depth of flavor to the glazed pecans.
  • Don't overcook the glaze. The glaze should be thick and syrupy, but it should not be hard or brittle.
  • Let the glazed pecans cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Sweet glazed pecans are a delicious and versatile snack or topping. They can be enjoyed on their own, added to trail mix or granola, or used to top salads, yogurt, or ice cream. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own sweet glazed pecans at home.
