Spiced Vanilla Pecans Recipes

SPICED PECANS

Steps:

• Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Mix the salt, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon and orange peel together in a small bowl and set aside.
• Place the nuts in a 10-inch cast iron skillet and set over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for 4 to 5 minutes until they just start to brown and smell toasted. Add the butter and stir until it melts. Add the spice mixture and stir to combine. Once combined, add both sugars and water, stirring until the mixture thickens and coats the nuts, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
• Transfer the nuts to the prepared sheetpan and separate them with a fork or spatula. Allow the nuts to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container for storage. Can be stored up to 3 weeks.

SPICED VANILLA PECANS

Steps:

• Note: If you don't have superfine sugar (in Britspeak: caster sugar) then you can whirl regular granulated sugar in the food processor for about 5 minutes.
• You can skip this and just use granulated sugar, but please make sure it dissolves completely before leaving the pecans to sit.
• In a large pot, boil the pecans in the water for 1 minute.
• Drain well.
• While they're still hot, toss them in a large bowl with the sugar, melted butter, corn syrup and vanilla extract.
• Mix well and let the nuts sit, covered, for at least 12 hours, up to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven the 325 degrees F.
• Put the nuts on a cookie sheet (make sure it's rimmed so the nuts don't fall off).
• Bake the nuts for 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
• The nuts should brown nicely.
• I know, they are brown already, what I mean is that they should be a little darker, and crisp looking.
• However, they won't actually get crisp until they cool.
• Meanwhile, combine all the spices in a large bowl.
• The minute, the actual instant that the nuts are done, add them to the spices and toss them until they are well covered.
• Pat the nuts back down on the cookie sheet in a single layer, so they can cool without clumping together.
• Cool thoroughly, and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Spray a sheet pan with the cooking spray or brush it lightly with oil.
• Place the egg white in a large bowl and whisk vigorously for 15 seconds, until light and frothy. Whisk in the brown sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, chile powder, cloves, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Add the pecans and mix well, until thoroughly coated. Pour the mixture, including any liquid, onto the prepared pan and spread in a single layer. Bake for 30 minutes, tossing twice with a metal spatula. Each time you toss the pecans, spread them out again in one layer. When they're done, sprinkle with fleur de sel and allow to cool completely; they will crisp as they cool. Serve at room temperature.
