Christmas Whiskey Pecans
List of Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons bourbon
3 cups pecan halves
In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and evaporated milk and bring to a low boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook until the syrup registers 240 degrees on a candy thermometer or forms a soft ball when a little is dropped into a 1/2 cup cold water.
Remove pan from heat. Add the salt, bourbon and pecans and stir until the nuts are thoroughly coated with the syrup. Pour the pecans onto waxed paper and cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
