Love this recipe! A tip for anyone who doesn’t have a candy thermometer to make sure the sugar is at about 300 degrees(hard crack): stick something into the sugar and dip it into ice cold water, if it is crunchy it’s done, if not, keep cooking it. Hope that’s helpful!!
Excellent starter recipe.🥰 It helps to bake the pecans first at 350 for about 10 minutes. Also add about 3 tbls of maple syrup and 1 tbls of bourbon into the sugar mix and use a thermometer to get to about 310 degrees
Yes I sure did, it was an oops now I’m just watching for Curiosity, I have been making glazed/candid pecans for decades, good lord I need to teach you preppy. But hey your great just not in the pecan category,back to the drawing board preppy you can do for sure. Get out that bourbon,put that water away for starters. :)
Just made these to use in a carrot cake. First time making these. This caramel is super hot and messy if it gets on any part of the stove or counter. So I suggest a wet paper towel to quickly wipe off any drops. They are delish! Love all John’s recipes.

Everything this guy makes is out of proportion. He makes you believe his beautiful kitchen means he knows what he's doing, 1 cup sugar is EXTREMELY sweet for only 1 cup of pecans by all means.
I made this recipe this morning and it came out perfectly. The only glitch was that here in Portland, OR we have high humidity and today was one of those days of dismal drizzle, If they are still sticky tomorrow I will put them in a warm oven for a bit.
Me too in my mind atleast... I have a feeling I will master it one day and when I do I can confidently say “oh these are my favorite holiday snacks to make in the kitchen, so simple...”
Yeah all those recipes are lovely but let's face it I'm gonna make these and I'm gonna sit down and watch Netflix and I am going to sit and eat the hell out of all of them. 🤩
The heat of the sugar (300-310 degrees F) is doing exactly that. I would try this once with a few of the pre-roasted pecans because I'm afraid that the sugar temp would burn them. Please share how this goes for you.
Binge watched all your uploads over the past few days. Loving your channel, really looking forward to seeing more of your small holding. It’s my dream to do something similar here in the UK
I skipped all the optional spices as I have none in my kitchen. However, combination of pecans, cinnamon and brown sugar is soooo good!!! Honestly everyone has to try to make these candied pecan. And oh yeah, I lightly baked these pecans before cooking it.
Oh my goodness these look awesome !! My daughter makes these along with some fudge & different kinds of candies and puts them in some really nice tins & sells some but she also gives them away & they’re awesome !!!
Is this recipe could also be adapted to other kinds of nuts (e.g., Almonds, peanuts, macadamia), will we need to bake or roast them before making this?
You should totally do a moist Lemon-Coconut cake. I can just imagine how gorgeous and inspiring you're gonna make it look for an amateur baker like me. :D
Oh my god they were so good and I had sugar leftover mixture so I added peanuts to it but I was wondering my pecans did not dry stayed sticky. I even put them in the fridge to see if that would help but it didn’t. Can you tell me may be what I did wrong? The peanuts however came out fine be dried up and they’re really good. After writing this I re watched your video and realized I must've taken them out too soon and didn't reach the right temp. Love your videos and you. Happy New Year!
I am so happy that I found this video. I have a bag full of pecans and was wanting to make some candied pecans. Thank you for having this available :) Question: Was that a pineapple pecan cake? mmmmm . sounds yummy !
@ Cheryl S. Yes, he does. Go to his main YT page, click on Playlists, select Savory Reciopes and you'll find it there "How to make a Roasted Vegetable Salad". SOO many really good recipes to choose from. Have a Great day.
I hope you let the boys meet the neighbors and have some snacks before they're off to bed I can't wait to see your new kitchen I'm jealous of it already. Keep on caking.
Just made these for a cheese board, wish I hadn't tried them cause now I wanna eat them all! So addicting! Mine got cloudy though and they don't have that glassy look. I definitely took the coating to the hard-crack stage though because they crack. What should I do next time?
I see where they kind of stuck together when you went to pick up one from the bowl... I would suggest dusting in cinnamon mixed with with powdered sugar😊😁😉
I just made these candied pecans. Not sure why mine are sticky. 🤔 I boiled the mixture until all was very bubbly, added the pecans, stirred, and covered, letting them cook for a few minutes more. After they cooled on parchment sheet, I dusted them with a cinnamon-white sugar mixture and put them in the fridge to hopefully harden overnight. If/when I repeat this recipe, I'll definitely roast the pecans first.
The candy has to be really hot. You have to either use a candy thermometer do the ice water trick. When I make mine, I boil the sugar, pour over the pecans and then bake for 8-10 minutes on 325 (checking to make sure they don’t burn).
Hello John! What a great recipe and fantastic tips as always. Your videos are wonderful. I hope you have fun with your neighbours! It's always nice when someone new moves in, and to be able to welcome them what's cocktails sub Chit Chat and snacks. Have a blast blessings to you and your family XXX
Thank you so much for this really easy recipe....My first batch came out great, but my second batch was a little stcky....I think I didn't add enough pecans...added more for the last batch and they came out ok, but still sticky.... what could I have done?
