JERRY'S SUGARED PECANS



Jerry's Sugared Pecans image

I think making someone else's recipes is a wonderful way to remember them when they're no longer with us. Garth's brother Jerry loved my cooking, and he was a good cook himself. He always made me feel he truly appreciated the meals I made for him, and I loved him for it. He had a wonderful smile and a great spirit. Jerry brought these pecans out to the house one day, and I only stopped eating them when they were gone! The butter and sugar make them crunchy, sweet, and rich.

Yield makes 4 cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, melted
3 large egg whites
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups pecan halves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  • Line a large baking sheet with sides with aluminum foil. Pour the butter onto the lined sheet. In a large bowl, mix the egg whites, sugar, and cinnamon. Add the pecan halves and toss until they are fully coated. Spread the pecans onto the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the pecans every 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
  • These pecans will still be a bit wet and gooey when you take them out of the oven. As they cool on the baking sheet, they will get crunchy.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pecans for the best flavor.
  • Toast the pecans in a single layer in a preheated oven to enhance their flavor and make them more crispy.
  • Be careful not to overcook the pecans, as they can quickly go from toasted to burnt.
  • Use a combination of granulated sugar and brown sugar for a more complex flavor.
  • Add a pinch of salt to the sugar mixture to help balance the sweetness.
  • Stir the pecans and sugar mixture constantly while cooking to prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Remove the pecans from the heat as soon as the sugar has melted and coats the pecans.
  • Spread the pecans out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to cool.
  • Store the sugared pecans in an airtight container at room temperature.

Conclusion:

Sugared pecans are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or used as a topping for salads, desserts, and yogurt. They are also a great gift idea for friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can easily make your own sugared pecans at home.
