Description
Here’s a funky and piglicious twist on pralines. You’ll see these appear in a supporting role in my upcoming Pig Candy Praline Ice Cream recipe, so I thought I’d share this recipe first as a bit of a teaser. I’m mean like that.
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Bacon Drippings
- 1 cup Pecan Halves
- ⅓ cups Brown Sugar, Golden/light
- 2 Tablespoons Maple Syrup (the Real Stuff, Of Course)
- ¼ teaspoons Ground Cayenne (optional, But Recommended)
- 1 pinch Chinese Five Spice
Preparation
Heat the bacon drippings in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add the remaining ingredients and cook until the sugar melts and comes just to boil, stirring constantly. Cook 3 minutes, continuing to stir constantly.
Remove the pan from the heat and let cool.
Note: If the pecans are still sticky after they’ve cooled a bit, just toss them with a little more brown sugar.
