The only thing I'd do differently is to roast the pecans for a few minutes prior to putting them into the brown sugar/butter mixture. Roasting pecans really enhances their flavor.
This is exactly how I cook. A pinch, a smidge and just a hair. I go by how things look. Perfect recipe for some one like me. I have never used a measurement in my life. I am loving this!!!!!
@@jahonk17 It's a culture of its own within the United States and some would argue it's a state of mind.

I absolutely love your measurements!! Seems anytime I don’t “ measure “ products out it always turns out the best!! Thanks for the share! I’m trying this recipe!!
I use evaporated milk instead of water when I make mine & sometimes I don't add the vanilla. It makes for yummy variations of your recipe (the first time I didn't realize that they harden up more after cooling). I always refrigerate my pecans to keep them fresh, & you can always make extra & freeze some for another time. I use them on my salads & also eat them as a snack, but the possibilities are endless for what you can use them for. Candied/Glazed pecans make great Christmas gifts for family, friends, co-workers, mail-person, etc. If you decide to refrigerate but don't want to eat them cold, it doesn't take long at all for them to reach room temp, especially if you use chopped pieces for use in your salads. (Tip: if you want smaller pieces for salads: chop the pecans *before* you cook them so you get the yummy stuff on all of the sides).
I made this as gifts for Christmas! It was sooo good! I didnt want to give too much. Started giving another type away & eating these myself! I put a lil cinn instead of the liquior. Really good!!!
Couldn't wait to try this but had no brown sugar so used regular sugar. It got light brown as it caramelized - kind of like toffee. So good and so quick.
That looked really good! You are so lucky with pecan trees in your backyard! You made that yummy candy while speaking three languages, English, Spanish and a little French ....bravo!
if you make it again, try putting it in a 350 degree oven for a few minutes on a baking sheet to see what that coating does to the pecans. Crispy and crunchy
Love ur technique and ur child is watching, how great and sweet is that! Teach him or her everything u know, they will never forget and you'll build an amazing bond with them that will last a lifetime. I'm not supposed to have sugar anymore, but I cheat within a very limited amt. I've learned I can pretty much hav anything if it's a tiny bit. Lucky you having a pecan tree too!!! I'm making this soon, some cold rainy day! I love pecans! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to you, L :)
I love pecans! With butter and brown sugar and whiskey and vanilla?! Drooling. 😛 How nice to have your own trees! I’m going to look into getting one. 👍🏼👍🏼 Thank you for the wonderful demo!
This looks amazing! I think that if you waited till the very end to add your vanilla it wouldn't burn off during the cooking process and you wouldn't have to add extra. But that's just me. Enjoy!
Good cooks really never measure! About that much ... works every time. That's how both my Grannies would cook. My aunts would call it eyeballing. But neither had pecan trees in their yard 😺 I'll be trying this for our next gathering - with the kids.
Oh I just love your measuring guidelines! Cuz that sure the way I do it. I'm not caging I'm just country. I may have been born and raised in the big city it was a mistake LOL keep on cooking yum yum goodness thanks for the recipe
Hahaha love the measurement procedure! It's the same like me. Since I have extra nuts I might do this, while I prepare a pecan log. Thanks for the inspiration man!
Love the recipe one change I did was to keep it on the heat to continue the cooking till the sugar started to crystallize around each pecan. Maybe another 5 mins of cooking.Omgosh very good recipe. I like my pecans dry and coated with the sugar Crystal's not a fan sticky or brittle. Just me :) Thank you for sharing
Looks Beautiful! Yummy 😋 And I absolutely love your "measuring" technique.. LOL 😂👍🏽 Thanks for the your recipe... Will be making this tonight! God bless 🙏🏽
I'm glad you are teaching your child how to make this. When I was little, back in the 60's, my father taught me how to make caramel-popcorn using butter and honey. You remind me of him. I still make Daddy's caramel, but I mix it with nuts (usually pecans and/or walnuts) instead of popcorn. Yummm!
I made this just now..so simple and great tasting ..I put a can of evaporated milk in in and it made it a little more rich tasting ..very good recipe. Cools fast
The little voice in the Background..my heart smiled

yes, great idea.
That sounds good
I agree 100%!!!
Awesome! 👍🏽 Thanks for the great tip.. going to try roasting beforehand 😋
Gets notebook: What temp and for how long? :D
Your number one fan: "Pecan candy!" Sweet whispers wanting to taste one. Love it! Thanks!
Adorable little angel 👶whispers in the. Background sooo 👶sweet...
I use heavy whipping cream instead of the water it makes the best praline candy. Also amazing on ice cream and cheese cake.
Heavy whipping cream instead of eagle brand milk?
Yes ma’am that’s the way I make it :-) absolutely delicious!
Yes, it's something special about using the heavy whipping cream.
@@marinawest3210 ok l will try it and thanks for responding
I've never tried making it with heavy whipping cream....but sounds delicious so I will give it a try !
Love the child's voice in the background♥️ especially when they said " I taste one"!
This is exactly how I cook. A pinch, a smidge and just a hair. I go by how things look. Perfect recipe for some one like me. I have never used a measurement in my life. I am loving this!!!!!
Or ya just feel the right amount
A little smidgen dab ‼️😳
Looks delicious and I love the music in the background!
Are you Cajun? We never measure, we just sprinkIe untiI our ancestor's whisper "That's enough cher!" :)
Hahahahaha! 😂
The ancestors have spoken! lol
Love your comment! Hilarious 💚
Cajun isn’t a race or ethnicity

We want to try something without dairy because my wife is lactose intolerant. Evaporated milk would make it absolutely delicious.
Wondering if you can use that healthier liquid sugar substitute ? Can’t remember what it’s called? Please
C M, do you have a recipe or do you just sprinkle too? I would love to try it if I have a recipe to follow.
Oh yeah! Evaporated milk definitely works. Thank you for the tip.🎄🎊🎄🎊🙏✝️🎊🎄🎊🎄🎄🎄

Can I use a different kind of alcohol?
@@nevadahardin5312 yeah! putting alcoholic beverages in candy then give to your kids? What's this world coming to 😧 4-5-20

The ole school measurement 😍
Lol, FACTS. MY DAUGHTER always asks how do I know it's enough. Cause that's how grandma measured, with sight. 😏
“This is stuff from last year...”. Those look dadgum good! I love the little voice in the background! Gonna try it!
Love the way you cook. Just like daddy use to. Measuring cup...who need’s it
Totally loved this video. No babbling on and on about stuff no one cares about. No trying to pretend to be the next Martha Stewart. No nonsense.
Don't worry about the negative comments. Everyone has their own recipes. Good job!
razztazz What negative comments? Yours? Accusing ppl of being negative?
@@lisacaron7224 i know right? I've not seen a single bad comment bar those accusing others of negative comments 😂😂 how bizarre
I'm not being negative. Just prefer not to use alcohol of any kind but would love the candy for sure.
Appreciate your sharing this recipe!!!
I use 2 cups of brown sugar and a can on condensed milk takes a lot of time but its worth it!
That sounds good what's your recipe
Camo Country - I love condensed milk.... Need that receipe too!
Cassandra.. how much CM do you put in there (in this recipe)? Wouldn’t adding that make it more like Pralines??🙌🙌🙌🥰
I was wondering if you could use cream? I love pecans, to pieces! Greetings from California. 🐻💝🎀
Mary Cook yesss, that’s what I use and it’s delicious

I'd cook longer too or add not as much water.
Looks great and reminds me of spiced candied nuts. Many variations however you made it very simple which is refreshing.

Looks delicious ill try it, Thank u
I made this just now..so simple and great tasting ..I put a can of evaporated milk in in and it made it a little more rich tasting ..very good recipe. Cools fast
I use evaporated milk, half and half or whipping cream. I can see where water wouldn't scorch as easily.
Looks marvelous!
This is a winter time favorite for sure.
