    Dr Pepper Pecans

    Source of Recipe

    From "Paula Deen's Southern Cooking Bible"

    Recipe Introduction

    "Here in the South we love our soda pop, and every time I open up a bottle, I am instantly brought back to my school days when I'd stop at the corner store for an icy-cold Coke with my baby brother, Bubba. And though I do have a fondness for Coca-Cola-glazed ham, I think these Dr Pepper Pecans are my number one favorite way to enjoy a pop without sucking it through a straw. Surprisingly, they are not too sweet but have that certain peppy flavor that will have people wondering just what could be the secret ingredient in these nuts. I love to watch their eyes light up when I tell them!"

    List of Ingredients

    ◦ 1 cup Dr Pepper
    ◦ 2 tablespoons (� stick) butter
    ◦ 1 cup pecan halves
    ◦ Salt

    Recipe

    Preheat the oven to 350� F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil.

    In a small saucepan, bring the Dr Pepper and butter to a boil over medium-high heat. Simmer until the liquid reduces by half, about 15 minutes.

    Stir in the pecans and continue to cook until the liquid becomes a sticky glaze, 3 to 4 minutes. Add a big pinch of salt, stir, and transfer the nuts to the prepared baking sheet. Bake, stirring once or twice, until toasted, about 10 minutes.

    Makes 1 cup (4 servings)



    � Not Everybody's a Pepper:
    If Dr Pepper is not your soda pop of choice, this recipe works just fantastically with any variety of cola or root beer.
