Time 15m

Yield 3 cups

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

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:

For the best results, use fresh pecans. If you're using store-bought pecans, make sure they're roasted and unsalted.
To make the cinnamon sugar coating, combine equal parts granulated sugar and ground cinnamon in a small bowl. You can also add a pinch of salt for extra flavor.
To coat the pecans, place them in a large bowl and drizzle with melted butter. Stir until the pecans are evenly coated.
Once the pecans are coated in butter, add the cinnamon sugar mixture and stir until the pecans are evenly coated.
Spread the pecans out on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the pecans are golden brown and fragrant.
Let the pecans cool completely before serving.

Conclusion:

Cinnamon sugared pecans are a delicious and easy snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, and holiday gatherings. You can also use them to top salads, yogurt, or ice cream. With their sweet and crunchy flavor, cinnamon sugared pecans are sure to be a hit!
