Prep : 5mins Cook : 20mins Total Time: 25 Mins Servings:2 cups Author: Getty Stewart
Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup honey or Manuka Honey (We recommend the UMF 5+ Manuka or the 10 + Manuka )
- ½ Tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate undiluted
- 1 Tbsp grated orange peel
- 2 cups pecans
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
- In small saucepan over low heat stir together butter, honey, orange concentrate and orange peel. Boil on low heat for 1 minute.
- Add pecans, tossing to coat well.
- Spread pecans in single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-30 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure all sides are equally toasted. Watch closely, especially towards end of baking time to ensure pieces do not burn. When done, the coating should be glassy. Once cooled, the coating should be hard and pieces should not stick to each other. If still sticky, return to oven.
- Cool in pan. CAUTION, honey will be extremely hot!
- Cool completely and store in airtight container for 2 weeks.
Notes
The extended baking time, helps to properly set the candy coating. Bake until candy coating becomes glassy and no longer sticky. If still sticky after cooling for a bit, return to oven.
