Description

Sweet, spicy, chewy and a little sticky, these praline pecans are perfect for holiday entertaining, gifts, salads and with pumpkin soup.

Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoons Cumin
  • ½ teaspoons Chili Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Kosher Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoons Cayenne Powder
  • 3 cups Pecan Halves
  • ⅓ cups Brown Sugar
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons Water
  • ¼ teaspoons Vanilla Extract

Preparation

1. In a small bowl, combine cumin, chili powder, salt, cinnamon, and cayenne. This recipe will go fast so prep your ingredients first and have them near.
2. In a dry skillet, toast the pecans over medium heat until darkened, about 5 minutes. When finished, place into a bowl and set aside.
3. In the same skillet over medium heat, add the sugar, butter, water, spices and vanilla. Stir to combine and cook until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the toasted pecans to the melted sugar and spice mixture and stir gently until the pecans are thoroughly coated. Cook while stirring for an additional minute.
5. Pour the pecans onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper or foil. Use a fork to separate the pecans from each other. Allow to cool and harden for at least 15 minutes.
6. Once cooled, dig right in or store in an airtight container. Enjoy.

These look great! But the seasonings are unusual. Do they taste like “normal” praline pecans or are they spicy?
