When I saw this idea on the internet the other day, I thought "I can make those." Of course I also thought "why didn't I think of that" like so many times when I see ideas posted on Facebook or Pinterest. Do you find yourself doing that?
So, I set out to make these using some pepper jelly I had made earlier this year and some lovely fresh jumbo pecans I got from a friend. They were super easy to do and they're addictive! They're so good I know you can't eat just one.
Recipe
Ingredients
1/3 cup Pepper Jelly
2 cups pecan halves
Sea salt
Method
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt pepper jelly in a sauce pan over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in pecan halves, stirring until well coated with jelly.
Spray a large cookie or baking sheet with cooking spray. Pour pecan mixture onto pan and spread out into one layer.
Bake 20-25 minutes, stirring often. Keep a careful watch so pecans won't over cook and burn. I checked mine every 3-5 minutes.
Remove from oven, transfer pecans to a cooling rack placed over another cookie or baking sheet. Sprinkle well with salt and let cool.
Store in mason jars or other glass container.
Cooks note - Pecans may be slightly sticky. Total cooking time may vary.
Enjoy,
Mary
