Title: Candied Pecans
Categories: Nuts, Herbs
Yield: 1 Pound
2 3/4 c Pecan halves
2 tb Butter; softened, divided
1 c Sugar
1/2 c Water
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1 ts Vanilla extract
Place pecans in a shallow baking pan in a 250°F/121°C
oven for 10 minutes or until warmed. Grease a 15x10x1" baking pan
with 1 tb butter; set aside.
Grease the sides of a large heavy saucepan with remaining 1 tb
butter; add sugar, water, salt, and cinnamon. Bring to a boil,
stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. Cover; cook 2 minutes to
dissolve any sugar crystals that may form on the sides of pan.
Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 236°F
(soft-ball stage). Remove from the heat; add vanilla. Stir in warm
pecans until evenly coated.
Spread onto prepared baking pan. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring
every 10 minutes. Spread on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet to
cool.
