CROCK POT SUGARED PECANS
CROCK POT SUGARED PECANS
Ingredients
16 ounces Alabama pecan halves
1/2 cup melted unsalted butter
1/2 cup confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Preparation
In a Crock-Pot® or other slow cooker, stir the pecans and butter together until well blended. Add the confectioners’ sugar, stirring to coat pecans evenly. Cover and cook on high for 15 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally until the pecans are coated with a crisp glaze as desired but no more than 2 hours. Transfer the pecans to a serving bowl. In a small bowl, combine the granulated sugar and spices and sift or sprinkle them over the pecans, stirring to coat evenly. Cool the pecans completely before serving.
