This delicious snack idea comes from our friend Janelle, over at the Brown Bag Blues Blog: "...Sometimes nuts are just nuts; other days I make nuts into a brown bag 'treat.' In fact, we went to dinner at my---new, favorite---friend's house, and I brought Ginger Sugar Pecans as a thank you hostess gift. Guess what? Her son loved them! My boys love eating them for lunch too; they also love the candied walnuts I sometimes tuck into their crumpled brown bag."
Ingredients:
- 5 cups pecan halves
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 2 T honey
- 2 tsp olive oil
Toast pecans in single layer on rimmed cookie sheet at 325 for 10-15 minutes. Shake once during baking. Combine sugar, salt, ginger in small bowl and set aside. Mix honey, 2 T water and oil in sauté pan; bring to boil over high heat. Reduce to medium, add pecans and cook for a few minutes until liquid has evaporated. Immediately throw into sugar mix and toss well—these are fabulous warm or at room temperature. They taste even better on day 2 when the flavors have had a chance to settle.
