These pecans are as close as I can come to the ones topping a salad at Boatwrights Restaurant, Disney's Port Orleans Riverside Resort. When you try a dish at any of the Disney restaurants you can ask the chef for the recipe. Some are actually preprinted, this one wasn't. I was given the ingredients & quantities to make this, but it was such a large amount that I had to try to reduce it. The original amounts called for 6 oz each of all the spices. I didn't get any instructions either. I have made these using the syrup method, & just melting the butter & tossing all the ingredients together. I think the syrup method is best. I love these nuts garnishing a salad or just to eat as is. Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter |
1 cup brown sugar |
2 tablespoons cinnamon |
2 tablespoons chili powder |
1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne pepper (depending on how hot you want them) |
1 tablespoon salt |
1 lb pecans |
Directions:
1. Combine butter & brown sugar in a large heavy pot.
2. Bring to a boil.
3. Remove from heat.
4. Stir in cinnamon, chili, & cayenne.
5. Add nuts, stir to coat.
6. Pour on parchment lined cookie sheet.
7. Bake at 325 for 20 - 30 minutes, till no longer syrupy, stir once or twice while baking.
8. Sprinkle with salt.
9. Cool & store in airtight container.
