Baked Candied Pecans

March 27, 2014 By Phillip @ SouthernFATTY.com 1 Comment

Baked Candied Pecans

 

Short and sweet… and certainly addictive! With my family being from Georgia, I grew up on pecans. I can remember sitting in my grandmother’s living room after family holidays with a nut sheller for hours. That was the deal. She would give us a couple boxes (yes… boxes.) of perfect Georgia pecans if we shelled them ourselves. Deal! After all, I could sneak a few [handfuls] in during the labor.

Having the sweet tooth that I do, I like to include pecans into a lot of my recipes that are candied. These are pretty common around Christmas time, but are sometimes ignored during the rest of the year. Candied nuts are a great accent for salads, sweet potato sides, or you can just shovel them into your mouth before they even cool completely when you make them. At least, that’s what I hear from people…..

While you can make these on the stovetop with a candy thermometer, this way is so simple and equally delicious! I added a bit of cinnamon to the mix. You’ll probably just want to go ahead and double the recipe to make a full pound. They’re that good!

    Candied pecans go GREAT on a chopped-kale-and-pear salad. Thanks for the recipe!
