Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a large, heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and evaporated milk and bring to a low boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cook until the syrup registers 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer or forms a soft ball when a little is dropped into a 1/2 cup cold water. Yields 3 cups.
  • Remove pan from heat. Add the salt, bourbon and pecans and stir until the nuts are thoroughly coated with the syrup. Pour the pecans onto wax paper and cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
  • they can be frozen to keep on hand through the holidays

    BTW, I make spiced pecans and cannot wait to try your recipe minus the sugar and adding our spiced sugar. But I am curious, I use egg whites for my recipe ( yours sounds so much better) can you make a comparison?
