Serve these pecans as a snack, or add them to mixed greens tossed in a vinaigrette and topped with goat cheese. Ingredients:
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup water |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
dash of ground cloves |
2 cups pecan halves |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves, stirring constantly (about 8 minutes). Add pecans and vanilla; cook until all syrup is absorbed and pecans are coated, stirring constantly (about 12 minutes). Spread pecan mixture on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. (Pecans will have a sugar coating.) Separate pecans into halves. Cool completely.
2. NOTE: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to one month; in the refrigerator for up to 3 months; or in the freezer for up to 8 months.
