MICROWAVE CANDIED PECANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Pour sugar into a 2-quart microwave-safe Pyrex glass batter bowl. Pour water over the sugar. DO NOT STIR. (I highly recommend you buy an inexpensive glass 2-quart batter bowl if you cook in a microwave very often.)
• Microwave on High for 5-7 minutes or until sugar mixture starts turning golden brown like a piece of butterscotch candy. DO NOT STIR. (Times vary with different MW ovens so watch carefully the first time or two until you figure out the exact time needed in your oven. It's easy to burn.) Use an instant-read thermometer to check the temperature if necessary. It should read 365-375˚F when ready. Tip the bowl to make the hot sugar mixture deep enough for the thermometer to read correctly.
• Add nuts but DO NOT STIR and MW on High for 30 seconds. NOW, Give the nuts a quick stir and finish with another 30 seconds on High.
• Quickly (and I do mean quickly) pour onto parchment paper, a silicone baking mat, or a well-greased cookie sheet. Use two forks to separate the hot nuts. Allow them to cool until you can touch them without burning your fingers.
• Use your fingers to break up the nuts. If caramel pulls in to thin thread-like strands when you try to break up the nuts, let it cool longer.
