SUGARED NUTS, SWEET CANDY COATING!
SUGARED NUTS are so yummie. They are like popcorn. You just can't stop eating them. You just keep popping them in your mouth, one right after the other.
I have a few very easy recipes for you that you can do in just a very short time.
SO-ooooo lets see how many I can get on this page.
SUGAR AND SPICE PECANS
2 cups shelled pecans 2 Tbls. butter 1/4 cup sugar 1 Tbls. cinnamon 1/4 tsp. nutmeg 1/4 tsp. cloves
THIS RECIPE IS CREATED WITH THE MICROWAVE.
In a 4 to 5 quart casserole, place pecans, MICROWAVE 5 to 7 MINUTES on HIGH,(check often so that your pecans don't burn, not all MICROWAVES are the same) stirring 2 to 3 times.
While nuts are cooking, combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves in small bowl. Stir until blended.
To hot pecans add butter. Stir until butter is melted and pecans are lightly coated. (If necessary, MICROWAVE 10 to 20 SECONDS on HIGH to melt butter.)
Add sugar and spice mixture to nuts. Stir well until evenly coated. Cool. Store in Container. EASY! EASY! EASY!
CITRUS SUGARED WALNUTS
MICROWAVE RECIPE
2-1/4 Cups Walnuts (halves or pieces) 1/2 Cup Powdered sugar 2 tsp. Lemon rind 2 Tbls. Orange rind
All Microwaves are not the same, so watch your time, and check often and adjust time.
Place walnuts in 3 to 6 quart casserole, add water until covered, place a lid on casserole dish.
MICROWAVE 10 to 15 MINUTES on HIGH, OR UNTIL WATER BOILS.
Remove lid, boil for 4 minutes.
Drain walnuts, return to casserole.
MICROWAVE uncovered 6 to 10 MINUTES on HIGH, or until dry.
While walnuts are still hot, add sugar, lemon rind and orange rind. Mix well until walnuts are coated.
Cool. Store in air tight container.
CANDY COATED NUTS
THIS RECIPE IS FROM ONE OF THOSE NEIGHBORHOOD BOOKS FROM PENNSYLVANIA I'M SORRY BUT YOU HAVE TO DO THIS RECIPE THE OLD FASHION WAY. BY HAND. NOT MICROWAVE.
2 Egg Whites 1 Cup Sugar 1-1/2 Cups Pecans 1-1/2 Cup Walnuts 8 Tbls. butter
#1. Beat egg whites until stiff. Add sugar and beat until well blended.
Slowly pour nuts into meringue, and fold the nuts into the mixture until well coated.
#2. Melt butter on large cookie sheet with 1" sides. Spread the candy coated nuts on the cookie sheet.
#3. Bake at 325F for 30 minutes, or until the nuts have a brown coating.
Stir every 10 minutes until done.
