...a close fascimile of Trader Joe's Glazed Cinnamon Pecans. Walnuts are a good substitute for the pecans. Cookgirl has been officially banned from all Trader Joe's on the West Coast. I knew it would happen eventually. I am now forced to wear my Groucho Marx glasses to shop at any Trader Joe's. Ingredients:
2 cups raw pecan halves |
2 tablespoons unbleached cane sugar |
2 tablespoons brown sugar |
1 1/2 tablespoons canola oil |
1 tablespoon real butter, melted |
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (not imitation) or 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice |
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg |
1 pinch ground cardamom |
1 pinch ground star anise |
Directions:
1. Preheat a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees.
2. In a bowl combine all the ingredients and toss to coat.
3. Spread the nuts singly on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the pecans are browned and crispy. Stir nuts occasionally to avoid burning and to roast evenly. *Watch* oven carefully!
4. Set baking sheet aside to allow nuts to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer to airtight container.
5. All amounts are estimated.
6. Great as a snack, in salads, as a snack - .
