Candied Pecans Recipe

This quick and easy recipe for Candied Pecans is the professional version which simply means that it's the correct method of preparing candied nuts. Some folks simply shake their favorite seasonings on the nuts and place them in the oven. Now you will learn how to prepare an incredibly delicious candied nut... whatever your favorite might be, with the flavor seeping throughout the entire nut... not just on the top. I hope you enjoy.

Here is the Candied Pecan Recipe for your convenience:

Using a medium-heavy pot, add walnut or pecan halves to a simple syrup which consists of equal parts water and sugar… for instance:

2 cups white sugar
2 cups water
2 cups pecans or walnuts

Bring the mixture to a boil then lower the heat and simmer about 8 to 9 minutes. Drain the syrup into a container until well drained in the event you’d like to use the syrup again. Otherwise, just drain.

Transfer well-drained nuts to hot oil (I use peanut oil) approximately 375-degrees… you can use a candy thermometer.

Fry the nuts from about 30 seconds to 1 minute. When it stops frying (you no longer hear the sound of frying), drain into a strainer. (Use the oil later for something else.)

Make sure you take the nuts out of the oil before they over-fry and become too crispy and hard… initially they will be quite soft but will harden perfectly after the next step.

Turn nuts out onto cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and cool in an air-conditioned (or pretty cool) room for about 30 to 45 minutes.

* Cool nuts on parchment paper NOT paper towels because they will stick!

* NEVER store nuts in the refrigerator because they have a tendency to absorb moisture and lose their crunchy texture.

Lobster Salad Martinis

I haven't tried this Lobster Salad Martini recipe yet but it's definitely on my to-do list. It looks festive, delicious and extremely simple to make. If you don't have the "Neely's Dry Rub" mentioned on the video, just use Old Bay Seasoning on the rim of your Martini glasses (after running a lemon along the rim so the seasoning will cling). If you try it before I get a chance... let me know that you enjoyed it by leaving a comment. I hope that you do!
