Cinnamon Vanilla Glazed Pecans Or Walnuts Food

JERRY'S SUGARED PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with sides with aluminum foil. Pour the butter onto the lined sheet. In a large bowl, mix the egg whites, sugar and cinnamon. Add the pecan halves and toss until they are fully coated. Spread the pecans onto the baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring the pecans every 10 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 to 15 minutes before serving.

CRUSTED CINNAMON WALNUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Prepare a jelly roll pan with cooking spray.
• Beat egg white and sugar together in a large bowl.
• Mix cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt together in a small bowl; stir into the egg mixture. Fold walnuts into the mixture to coat; spread onto prepared jelly roll pan.
• Bake in preheated oven until the coating on the nuts is crusty, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Cool nuts 5 minutes before serving.

CINNAMON AND VANILLA CANDIED PECANS

Steps:

• 1. Put pecans and oil in a flat baking pan; stir until pecans are coated. Roast in 300 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes, stirring frequently. Cool. Do not roast at a higher temperature or overcook -they will become bitter. (SEE NOTE BELOW.)
• 2. Combine sugar, cinnamon, salt and water in a saucepan; cook, stirring over medium heat until sugar is dissolved.
• 3. Boil to 236 degrees of a candy thermometer, or to soft ball stage*. FYI: Tonight I decided that I'd time the candied mixture (both times I made it) and from the time it started boiling until it reached the soft ball stage was only 4 minutes (and it only took about 4 minutes on medium to start boiling). So -in about 8 minutes from mixing it in the saucepan until you remove it from the heat and stir in the Vanilla and Pecans -you have a wonderful confection! Just thought I'd let you know that it isn't time nor labor intensive -just good.
• 4. Remove from heat; blend in vanilla. Add pecans and stir until mixture is creamy (and loses its sheen). Turn out onto waxed paper and use a fork to separate pecans.
• 5. * TO TEST FOR SOFT BALL STAGE: If you do not have a candy thermometer, drop a small amount of syrup into chilled water. When it forms a ball, but is soft enough to flatten when picked up with fingers (234 to 240 degrees), it will be to the soft ball stage.
• 6. NOTE: You can skip the roasting step if you are in a hurry. However, if you taste the candied pecans that have been roasted and ones that have not been roasted, you will prefer roasting them before cooking on the stove -the flavor is so much richer.
• 7. ENJOY!!
