Sunday is Pecan Day — Sunday, March 25th, 2007

Glazed nuts are a little bit like candy treats and are wonderful in salads and other dishes. These are easy to make and perfect for little “gifts from your kitchen.”

CANDIED (GLAZED) PECANS
makes 1 1/2 cups

1/2 cup, granulated sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick), unsalted butter
1 tablespoon, water
11/2 cups, pecan halves (or substitute another type of nut, if you prefer)
1 1/2 teaspoons, salt

On a countertop, spread a piece of aluminum foil 12X24 inches in size (alternatively, you may use a sheet of Silpat or other re-useable silicone liner sheet) or parchment paper. If using foil or parchment, oil it lightly with vegetable oil to coat.

In a medium-size saucepan, combine the sugar, butter and water. Heat over medium-low heat until the butter has melted, then add the pecans (or other nuts). Continue to cook the nut mixture, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes.

Pour the nut mixture onto the prepared foil or other surface. Immediately (working quickly) spread the nuts apart to separate each one. Sprinkle the salt over the nuts and allow the nuts to cool for 30 minutes or until completely cooled.

The finished nuts can be stored airtight for up to 2 weeks.

A SPICY ALTERNATIVE (you'll want to try this!): Add 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the sugar, butter and water mixture at the start of the recipe.
