Directions
Honey Roasted Pecans, These are wonderful as a snack, part of a holiday basket, added to salads, as a topping to pumpkin pie or sweet potato casserole They do get pretty sticky if exposed to moisture, my daughter loves them and calls them sticky nuts They are HIGHLY addictive, make a lot!, After 2 fails, did it my own way I know my oven gets hotter than what the dial says, so I always pre heat it and check it with an accurate thermometer before use First time I got it to exactly 350 and put in pecans for 10 minutes Pretty much turned to black with and ashey center Like eating a burned match head Tried again for only 5 minutes at about 295 Still inedible So I reasoned why even do this if you’re going to cook them in honey afterwards Pecans are delicious right out of the shell anyway So I took some and just cooked them in honey Turned out pretty good, but not near as thickly coated or crisp as the ones from the store I think the reason for that is the ones from the store list sugar as the first ingredient, which I was trying to avoid by making my own I always thought honey was supposed to be far superior to sugar nutrient – wise bu after some reading found out it’s not The only advantage is it MAY help with allergies and is sweeter than sugar so you should need less As far as calories and blood sugar reaction, it’s about the same As a result I’ve stopped using so much of it now I hate it when you find out all these health food fads turn out to be bogus hype Coconut oil is another one It’s a saturated fat My doc says avoid it until some real proof of benefit is determined , I agree with some others I mixed a little butter into the honey, microwaved Tossed in as many pecans into the bowl as the mixture needed Lightly salted, they did need a little salt Then roasted for 10 minutes, stirring once Perfect!
