We made little jars of candie pecans...Great idea!! We made little jars of candie pecans one year for neighbors and friends. We put a little piece of Christmas looking fabric over the top piece of the jar and then screwed the ring on. Here is the recipe if you would like to try it. Easy!<BR/><BR/>Candied pecans, with cinnamon and vanilla. <BR/><BR/>Ingredients:<BR/>2 1/2 cups pecan halves<BR/>2 teaspoons vegetable oil<BR/>1 cup granulated sugar<BR/>1 teaspoon cinnamon<BR/>3/4 teaspoon salt<BR/>1/4 cup water<BR/>1 teaspoon vanilla extract<BR/><BR/>Preparation:<BR/>Put pecans and oil in a flat baking pan; stir until pecans are coated. Roast in 300° oven 20 to 25 minutes, stirring frequently. Cool. <BR/>Combine sugar, cinnamon, salt, and water in a saucepan; cook, stirring, over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Boil to 236° of a candy thermometer, or to soft ball stage. Remove from heat; blend in vanilla. Add pecans and stir until mixture is creamy. Turn out onto waxed paper and use a fork to separate pecans. <BR/><BR/>CeceCecelia---Sis---Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05472265713877535805noreply@blogger.com
