Time 1h

Yield 4 1/2 cups, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup top-quality Bourbon
1 lb pecan halves
1 tablespoon corn oil
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Angostura bitters
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Simmer the bourbon in a small saucepan over medium heat until reduced by a quarter, just a few minutes. Blanch the pecans in boiling water for 1 minute ( blanching the pecans in boiling water is an old Chinese trick that makes them especially crisp), then drain.
  • Combine the bourbon, oil, Worcestershire sauce, bitters, and sugar in a large bowl. Add the HOT pecans and toss. Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Spread the pecans in a single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake until the nuts are crisp and the liquid has evaporated, 30 to 40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Turn the nuts into a clean bowl.
  • Combine the cumin, cayenne, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Toss with the nuts and serve.
