Every Thanksgiving and Christmas I enjoy making Cinnamon Spiced Pecans for my family. I love munching on them even more!!!! Here is the recipe I use. It is a variation of several recipes I have tried over the years. Some you bake, some are stove top. None of them satisfied my Cinnamon loving tooth. We are named Cinnamon Hollow you know. 😀
Most included other spices as well and for these, I wanted a full-on cinnamon-sugar flavor. So this is my own recipe, using a stove top method, and you are more than welcome to give it a try!
Cinnamon Spiced Pecans Recipe
Ingredients
- 4 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup sugar granulated
- 1/4 evaporated milk
- 2 Tbsp butter melted
- 1/8 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp. cinnamon. yes, it sounds like a lot
- 2 Tbsp. water
Instructions
- Mix sugar, evaporated milk, salt, cinnamon and water together in large non-stick saucepan, over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoind burning.
- Continue stirring until sugar is completely dissolved.
- GENTLY fold in pecans. They will break easily so fold them in very gently.
- Stir for 5 - 8 minutes, until pecans are thoroughly coated.
- Add melted butter and stir until very little syrup remains. (I like little extra coating on my pecans for a candy-like crunch)
- Remove from heat
- Immediately turn onto wax lined cookie sheet.
- Spread into a single layer (some overlap is ok)
- Cool Completely
- One cooled, break apart and store in airtight container. (after you've sampled a few of course!)
Dissolving sugar – coating pecans – adding melted butter – cooling pecans on wax paper
They are very cinnamon-y and very yummy and your house will smell beyond delicious while they are cooking! I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
