Directions
Southern Cinnamon Sugared Pecans,I found this recipe on a can of evaporated milk many years ago, and I make up many batches each year to take to parties and give as gifts at Christmas. These are wonderful.,Important to keep stirring. These are a family fav so easy to make.,This is the Bestest Recipe Ever!!! My mom was born in New Orleans and when I was much younger, every Christmas that pecans were plentiful she would make these glorious pecans. Thank you for this recipe. It brings back great memories and has inspired me to start the tradition again.

Note: I've Tried Using Brown Sugar (1:1 With the White Sugar), but the Pecans Have a Tendency to Come Out Sticky and the Sugars Don't Get 'crystalized'. I Have not Tried These With Turbinado or Unbleached Cane Sugar Yet. If They Don't Turn Out Right, I'll Have to Keep Them For Myself ! |
