Honeycomb Pecans Recipes

HONEY ROASTED PECANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an oven safe dish or a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a medium bowl, combine the honey and pecans until thoroughly coated. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and toss once or twice more.
• Bake for up to 15 minutes. Take care not to over-caramelize the nuts, which will taint the honey flavor.
• Cool at least 10 minutes, and serve. Store in a sealed container for up to six months.
• Enjoy!

HONEYCOMB CANDY

Steps:

• Line an 8x8 square casserole dish with non stick foil and set aside.
• In a heavy bottom saucepan, combine sugar, vinegar and corn syrup.
• Cook over medium heat stirring until the sugar dissolves.
• Continue cooking without stirring until digital candy thermometer reads 300*F (hard crack stage)
• Remove from heat.
• QUICKLY stir in baking soda - mixture will foam and double in size.
• Pour mixture into prepared casserole dish. DO NOT SCRAPE MIXTURE OUT. Just pour it.
• DO NOT BUMP, SHAKE, STIR, or MOVE pan. You want it to keep all those air bubbles in the mixture undisturbed as it cools.
• After 2 hours, once mixture has naturally cooled to room temperature, pull hard candy slab out of pan.
• Place slab on a cutting board and with a sharp knife, carefully start to crack the candy into chunks. Generally chunks should be around 1" pieces.
• Eat candy, storing extras or dip in chocolate.
• To dip candy, melt chocolate according to package directions.
• Place a chunk of candy into chocolate, submerge and lift with a fork. Tap excess chocolate off candy and place on wax paper to dry.
• Once cooled, enjoy.

• Remove from heat and add flavorings, then stir to blend.
• Allow this mixture to cool to a lukewarm temperature.
• Once it becomes lukewarm, beat this with a hand mixer until it becomes creamy, about 3 minutes.
• Add pecans and stir until they are completely coated.
• Drop by heaping teaspoon onto wax paper and cool completely.
