Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 Tbsp. instant coffee powder
- 1/2 cup hot black coffee
Directions
Tear off a sheet of waxed paper about 2 feet long. Butter. Set aside where you can get to it immediately.
Put all ingredients in a 10-inch skillet and mix. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until liquid is evaporated and pecans are glazed (about 5 minutes). Immediately turn onto buttered paper in a single layer. Work quickly, this starts clumping fast. These will be very hard at first but will soften overnight. The flavor becomes much better, too.
Store in an airtight container. Yield: 2 cups
You can use any kind of nuts you like. You can also use brown sugar instead of granulated and you can add spices, too.
