Salted, Spiced or Sugared Pecans 
compiled by Michelle Jones

 

Salted Pecans

Stir 2 c. pecan halves with 1-2 tsp. salt and 1/2 stick melted butter.  Cook at 225 degrees for 1 hour, stirring often.

Spiced Pecans

1 c. sugar

1/2 c. water

3/4 tsp. nutmeg

1 tsp. cinnamon

1/8 tsp. salt

2 c. pecan halves

Sugared Pecans

1 c. sugar

1/2 c. water

1/2 tsp. vanilla

1/2 tsp. salt

2 c. pecan halves

Heat pecans at 375 degrees for 15 minutes and remove from oven.  Mix together all ingredients (except nuts) and bring to a boil, then reduce to a medium heat.  Cook until mixture spins a thread, softball stage, about 2 minutes.  Take off heat and add pecans, stirring constantly until a sugary mass is formed.  While mixture is still hot, pour out onto greased pan or waxed paper, and separate each nut as they cool.

 

Extra Tip:  Store unused pecans in the fridge to keep fresh longer.
