Drunken Pecans Recipes

DRUNKEN PECANS

Steps:

• 1. Whisk together maple or Karo syrup and 1 cup of your brown sugar and cinnamon in a large sauce pan. Add the bourbon or Amaretto and the vanilla or almond extract. The alcohol will cook out and just leave the flavor.
• 2. Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly. Add the pecans or whatever kind of nuts you prefer.
• 3. Keep stirring over med heat until the pecans are coated in the sugar mixture.
• 4. Continue to cook, stirring frequently until the liquid becomes thick and starts to solidify on your spoon. It needs to reach a high enough temperature for the sugar mixture to harden when cooled. (at least 240 degrees on candy thermometer)
• 5. Remove from heat and add the remaining cup of brown sugar to the pan, quickly toss until all the nuts are coated with the sugar. Pour out on a sprayed, foil lined cookie sheet to cool and break apart any big pieces that are clumped together.
• 6. Once they are cool they will be hard and crunchy. Technically they will keep for a few weeks in a sealed container, but they're usually gone in a few hours.

DRUNKEN NUTS (SALLYE)

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350º
• 2. Prepare cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
• 3. In a cast iron skillet (or heavy saucepan), melt butter over medium high heat. Add sugar and stir costantly until sugar dissolves and mixture is well blended. Be careful not to burn.
• 4. Remove from heat, add vanilla and whiskey.
• 5. Add pecans and coat thoroughly, then turn out onto lined cookie sheet.
• 6. Cook for 10-15 minutes until toasted. (Your nose will tell you when they're done).

PECAN PIE BREAD PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. I mix mine in the mornings, let sit until I finish dinner and pop it in the oven before we sit down to eat :)
• 2. In a large mixing bowl add eggs and slightly beat.
• 3. Add everything but the bread and pecans. Mix well until it is combined really good.
• 4. Fold in bread and half the pecans.
• 5. Let sit at room temperature for 1 hour mixing every so often to coat bread well. Cover and refrigerate until you are ready to bake. This recipe is best if left to sit for 6-8 hours or overnight. It gives the bread plenty of time to soak everything up!
• 6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a 9x13 baking dish with butter or cooking spray. (I use a little smaller size because I like a thicker bread pudding.) Use whatever size you want :)
• 7. Pour everything into your prepared baking dish.
• 8. Top with remaining pecans.
• 9. Pop in the oven and bake for 60 minutes.
• 10. RUM SAUCE: While bread pudding is baking, in a saucepan melt stick of butter.
• 11. Add sugar, dark rum or bourbon, and water. Mix well and simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Turn stove eye off and let sit to keep warm until bread pudding is finished.
• 12. Remove from oven.
• 13. While still hot, pour half the rum sauce over the top. Letting it get down between the pudding and sides of baking dish.
• 14. Let sit for 15 minutes and pour more sauce over it. You judge how much of the sauce you want - some or all it is up to you. I use it all, lol.
• 15. Enjoy! I like mine warm with vanilla ice cream and hubby eats his with fresh whipped topping.
