Guest guest Posted December 15, 2002 Report Share Posted December 15, 2002 My boyfriend and I are trying to be cheap this Christmas and make most of our gifts for everyone. We were in our local mall and there was a booth selling the best smelling candied pecans and almonds, for $4 for 1 cup. Well, Russ and I decided to try to make them ourselves since pecans are a local crop and really good. We found this recipe on the web, modified it a bit and it is every bit as good as the ones they are selling in the mall. Not to mention, they are easy enough for my non-cooking man to make them... Enjoy! Genie Candied Pecans 1 pound pecan halves 1 egg white 2 t. vanilla 1 t. water Beat all but pecans until frothy. Mix pecans into to coat well. In a seperate bowl mix: 1 c. sugar 2 t. cinnamon 1 t. nutmeg Mix in with egg covered pecans. Spread on cookie sheet and bake for 1 hour at 300. Enjoy! New DSL Internet Access from SBC & http://sbc.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2002 Report Share Posted December 16, 2002 I love pecans fixed this way!! They taste so good-- sorta like candy. They don't taste like they are so simple to make. Although, I think the recipe with the egg white coating is the best..I thought I would provide a Vegan version of candy pecans that is still pretty good. (Vegan) CANDIED PECAN HALVES 2 cups water 2 cups sugar 4-6 cups pecan halves *1 tsp vanilla extract (optional) Boil water; add sugar and stir until dissolved. Add the pecans ( & vanilla) and continue to cook over medium-high heat, stirring constantly, until pecans are covered and liquid is evaporated. Place pecans in one layer on cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 350° F. oven for about 10 minutes or until the pecans turn whitish in color. Cool completely before packaging in plastic bags or tins. MAKES 4-6 CUPS OF PECANS * In my opinion, vanilla extract is NEVER optional karen , genie bottle <geniesflower> wrote: > My boyfriend and I are trying to be cheap this Christmas and make most > of our gifts for everyone.
