Texas Glazed Pecans
Ingredients:
- 1 egg white
- 4 teaspoons water
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 pound pecan halves
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Beat the egg in a bowl until frothy; whisk the water and vanilla into the egg. Stir the sugar, cinnamon, and salt into the egg mixture. Add the pecans; stir to coat completely. Spread the pecans onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast the pecans in the preheated oven, stirring about every 15 minutes, until the coating forms a glaze, about 1 hour. Allow cooling on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Southern Pralines Recipe: (Recipe from Taste of Home.com – http://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/southern-pralines)
- 3 cups packed brown sugar
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-1/2 cups chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup cubed butter
- 1-1/4 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Directions:
- In a large heavy saucepan, combine the brown sugar, cream, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook until a candy thermometer reads 230° (thread stage), stirring occasionally.
- Carefully stir in pecans and butter. Cook, stirring occasionally until a candy thermometer reads 236° (soft-ball stage).
- Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Beat with a wooden spoon until the candy thickens and begins to lose its gloss, about 4-5 minutes.
- Quickly drop by heaping tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper; spread to form 2-in. patties. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 3-1/2 dozen.
