Category: Snacks / Crackers / Chips
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  


1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 tbsp water
1 1/2 cups pecan halves (or substitute another type of nut, if you prefer)
1 1/2 tsp salt

On a countertop, spread a piece of aluminum foil 12X24 inches in size (alternatively, you may use a sheet of Silpat or other re-useable silicone liner sheet) or parchment paper. If using foil or parchment, oil it lightly with vegetable oil to coat.

In a medium-size saucepan, combine the sugar, butter and water. Heat over medium-low heat until the butter has melted, then add the pecans (or other nuts). Continue to cook the nut mixture, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes.

Pour the nut mixture onto the prepared foil or other surface. Immediately (working quickly) spread the nuts apart to separate each one. Sprinkle the salt over the nuts and allow the nuts to cool for 30 minutes or until completely cooled. Makes 1 1/2 Cups

The finished nuts can be stored airtight for up to 2 weeks.

A SPICY ALTERNATIVE: Add 1/8 tsp of cayenne pepper to the sugar, butter and water mixture at the start of the recipe.
