MAPLE PEPPER PECANS

I cannot, just cannot, allow myself to have even one of these as I'm setting them out or I know there will be none left for the party. They're best eaten still a little warm (though be careful that they're not hot or everyone will have a burnt mouth) though still very good cold and, as with the olives, make a good present, bunged into a jar and tied with a ribbon or somesuch.

HONEY-ROASTED PEPPERED PECANS



Honey-Roasted Peppered Pecans image

Categories     Nut     Dessert     Side     Roast     Cocktail Party     Picnic     Super Bowl     Quick & Easy     Pecan     Spring     Honey     Engagement Party     Gourmet     Kidney Friendly     Vegetarian     Pescatarian     Dairy Free     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Soy Free     Kosher

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
8 oz pecan halves (2 cups)
2 tablespoons sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Stir together honey, pepper, salt, and allspice and add pecans, tossing to coat well. Spread pecans in 1 layer in a shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pan and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in middle of oven 15 minutes, then stir pecans and bake 5 minutes more. Transfer to a sheet of wax or parchment paper to cool and, working quickly, separate pecans with a fork while still warm. Serve at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pecans: Fresh pecans have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than stale pecans. Look for pecans that are plump and free of blemishes.
  • Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast pecans in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Use a good quality salt: Use a sea salt or kosher salt for the best flavor. Avoid using table salt, as it can be too salty and harsh.
  • Use freshly ground pepper: Freshly ground pepper has a more intense flavor than pre-ground pepper. If you don't have a pepper grinder, you can use a mortar and pestle to grind the peppercorns.
  • Don't overcook the pecans: Overcooked pecans will be tough and chewy. Cook the pecans just until they are golden brown and fragrant.

Conclusion:

Salt and pepper pecans are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or used in a variety of recipes. They are a good source of protein, fiber, and healthy fats, and they can help to lower cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease. Whether you are looking for a healthy snack or a unique ingredient to add to your favorite recipes, salt and pepper pecans are a great choice.
