I regularly cook up these candied pecans for Christmas gift-giving and family munching. The citrusy-sweet flavor is different and delicious. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups sugar |
1/4 cup water |
3 tablespoons orange juice concentrate |
2 cups pecan halves |
1/2 teaspoon grated orange peel |
Directions:
1. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, water and orange juice concentrate. Cook over medium-high heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 238° (soft-ball stage). Remove from the heat; stir in pecans and orange peel.
2. Beat until mixture thickens and loses its gloss, about 2 minutes. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed paper to set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
