Orange pecans
Yield: 1 Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 c Sugar
- 1/2 c Water Grated rind of 1 orange
- 1 tb Orange juice
- 2 c Pecan halves
- 1 pn Salt
Instructions:
Dissolve sugar in water in saucepan. Boil to the softball stage and remove from heat. Add juice rind pecans and salt. Return to heat and cook slowly stirring all the while until the sugar crystalizes and clings to the pecans. Turn out onto a buttered pan and separate the pecan halves using 2 forks. Any sugar that doesn't stick to the pecans is yummy pressed into rolled and cut cookies before they're baked.
