Crystallized Orange Nuts

Recipe #134873 | 20 min | 10 min prep | SERVES 8 , 2 cups (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: PanNan

This is posted for the World Tour 2005 RecipeZaar event. I haven't tried it yet, but it's so quick and easy, has readily available ingredients, and looks so good, I might just make it before the day is out! The recipe comes from the Hadassah Jewish Holiday Cookbook - a collection of traditional recipes from contemporary kosher kitchen. It was listed in the Passover section.

Ingredients

  • tablespoon butter (approximately)
  • 1/4 cup orange juice
  • cup sugar
  • cups pecan halves
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Butter a large cookie sheet (one that has sides).
    2. 2
      Using a 2 quart glass baking dish, pour orange juice into sugar, and mix well. Stir in pecans. Cover with plastic wrap, but leave a corner open to vent.
    3. 3
      Microwave on medium for 6 minutes. Stir and continue to cook on medium for about 4 - 6 more minutes until the syrup crystallizes (check after 4 minutes, and then each minute thereafter).

      As soon as it's crystallized, spread glazed nuts on the buttered cookie sheet evenly, separating the nuts. Let it cool completely.

    This was very good, though a bit sticky. I will definitely add more nuts/make less sauce next time I make it (there will be a next time!) When sharing it with a friend, she remarked that they tasted like something that you would have in a tart.

    Very good tasting. Used mixed nuts for this recipe for gifts at Christmas. Added extra nuts as noted by other posters. Will use again. Thanks, PanNan, for posting.

    Very sweet.I microwaved for 15 minutes and it came to a soft sugar stage. I`m would add 1 more cup of nuts because it is sweet and theres plenty of glaze to coat 3 cups. The orange flavor really didn`t come through. I suggest adding the zest of an orange to kick it up some. This would be great on anything from your favorite ice cream to a large healthy salad!
