In the south, we fry everything-even pecans.
Ingredients:
6 cups water
4 cups pecans
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions:
1. Bring water to a boil in large saucepan over high heat. Add pecans. Return to a boil and boil 1 minute. Rinse under running hot water. Drain and put in large bowl. Add sugar and toss to coat.
2. In a deep skillet, heat 1 inch of oil to 350F degrees over medium heat. With a slotted spoon, add 1/2 the pecans. Fry 4 to 5 minutes, until golden brown, stirring often.
3. Remove pecans to a colander to drain. Sprinkle with salt and toss lightly to coat. Spread on wax paper to cool. Repeat until all are cooked.
