Crystallized Orange Nuts

 

A healthy snack, ice cream topper, or can be added to a Fall salad.

 

 

1 tablespoon butter

1/4 cup orange juice

1 cup sugar

2 1/2 cups pecan halves

 

Butter a large cookie sheet (with sides).

In 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.

 

Microwave on medium for 6 minutes. Stir and continue to cook on medium for

another 4 - 6 minutes, until the syrup crystallizes. (Check after 4 minutes,

and then each minute thereafter. Microwaves vary).

 

Promptly, when it has crystallized, spread glazed nuts on the buttered cookie

sheet evenly. Separate the nuts.

Let it cool completely.
