Joanna Gaines Candied Pecans Recipe
Joanna Gaines' candied pecans recipe is a real treat that's both simple and satisfying. The beauty of this recipe lies in its straightforward process: melt butter, mix in brown sugar, and coat your pecans before toasting them to perfection. One little trick I found was to use a cast-iron skillet, which helps distribute heat evenly and gives the pecans a lovely texture.
Prep Time5 minutes mins
Cook Time10 minutes mins
Total Time11 minutes mins
Servings: 4
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 1 cup Brown Sugar
- 2 cups Pecans
- 1/2 tsp Cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract
Melt the butter in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat.
Add brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Stir until the mixture is well combined and slightly bubbling.
Add the pecans to the skillet.
Stir to coat them evenly in the butter and sugar mixture.
Keep mixing continuously.
Continue to cook the pecans, stirring frequently.
After about 8 minutes, the pecans should appear toasted and nicely glazed.
Remove the skillet from heat.
Spread the pecans on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to cool.
This prevents them from sticking together.
Store the cooled pecans in an airtight jar or ziplock bag.
