1 lb. pecan halves
6 c. water
1/2 c. sugar
3 T. butter, melted
1 T. corn syrup
1 T. vanilla extract
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. nutmeg
1/4 t. allspice
1/8 t. pepper
Boil pecans in water for one minute; drain. Immediately toss pecans in a large bowl with sugar, butter, corn syrup and vanilla; mix well. Cover bowl and let sit 12 to 24 hours.
Place pecans on an ungreased jelly-roll pan. Bake at 325 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes. While pecans are baking, combine remaining ingredients in a large bowl. After baking pecans, immediately toss them with spices until well coated. Spread pecan on jelly-roll pan in a single layer to allow to cool. Makes 5 1/2 cups.
I used a 2 lb. bag from Sam's and double everything. Eldon is giving these to home teaching families. I put the pecans into a disposible icing bags; decorated with some floss and a bell. The double recipe made 9 bags. They're cute! Oh, and the pecans are yummy!
