Beat That! Cookbook
List of Ingredients
1 pound whole pecan halves
6 cups water
1/2 cup superfine sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
1 tablespoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon fresh grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
Recipe
In large saucepan, boil pecans in water for 1 minute. Drain well. While they're still hot, toss them in a large bowl with the sugar, melted butter, corn syrup and vanilla. Mix well and let nuts sit, covered, for at least 12 hours, up to 24. Preheat oven to 325�F. Put nuts on a rimmed cookie sheet. Bake them for 30 minutes, stirring them every 5 minutes. The nuts get very dark brown and crisp looking.
Meanwhile, combine all the he spices in a large bowl. The instant the nuts are done, add them to the spices and toss until they're well coated. Pat the nuts back down onto the cookie sheet in a single layer, so they can cool without clumping. Cool them thoroughly and store airtight. Makes 1 pound.
