Glazed Pecan Halves

This recipe can stand alone but is meant to be paired with Fresh Orange Italian Cream Cake


2 Cups pecan halves
1/3 Cup light corn syrup
Vegetable cooking spray

Combine pecan halves and corn syrup, stirring to coat pecans. Line a 15X10-inch jellyroll pan with parchment paper or aluminum foil; coat with cooking spray.  Arrange pecan halves in an even layer in pan.

Bake at 350 for 12 minutes; stir using a rubber spatula.  Bake 8 more minutes. Remove from Oven, and stir; arrange in an even layer on wax paper and let cool completely.  Break apart and Enjoy!!!

Brown Sugar Spicy Pecans

This recipe is different from the spiced pecans posted here earlier.  My Mom shared this with me several Christmases ago. This sort of sounds like Paula Dean's Recipe to me, but she didn't write down on the card who this came from.  It's not our original idea - just thought I would say! I don't know who to give the credit to! 

Anyway - Eat it up and thank the Good Lord for the blessed lady who made it up!

2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
2 Tablespoons Orange Juice
1 1/2 Tablespoons of Butter
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Chili Powder
1/4 tsp pepper
1 1/2 cups chopped Pecans

Cook first 6 ingredients in a skillet over medium high heat, stirring until brown sugar dissolves.  Remove from heat, and stir in Pecans.  Transfer to a lightly greased baking sheet, and Bake at 350 for 8 minutes or until toasted.  Cool and store in an air tight container!

Spiced Pecans

This is the recipe I use for the Pecans I put on my Strawberry salad!
These have a kick but my 10 yr old daughter can't keep her hands off of them!


Spiced Pecans:
1/4 cup Sugar
1 cup warm water
1 cup pecans

soak for 10 minutes

Drain and Discard Syrup

Combine:
2 T Sugar
1 T Chili Powder
1/8 t. ground red pepper

toss with nuts.
Bake 30 minutes at 350- turning very often. ( I tend to turn these every 7 minutes - this insures that I don't overcook them, because no one likes them burnt!)
