- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons water
- 1 cup pecan pieces
Ingredients
Directions
1. MIX sugar, lemon juice and water in a medium bowl until it resembles wet sand.
2. HEAT sugar mixture in medium heavy bottomed pot until it turns golden and caramelized. (Do not stir. Once it starts to color, swirl pot to even out the sugar.)
3. REMOVE caramelized sugar from heat.
4. ADD the pecans and carefully stir with a wooden spoon. (Do not use metal spoon)
5. POUR onto prepared sheet pan.
6. COOL completely.
7. BREAK into pieces (saving some for garnishing the top of the cake optional)
8. PLACE in food processor and pulse until resembles sand.
How is the sheet pan supposed to be prepared? There are no instructions. I am assuming it should be buttered?
Hi Donna, Thanks for writing in. We will update the recipe! In this case, we recommend you line the pan with parchment to prevent sugar from sticking and to make cleanup easier. Please let us know how it turns out!
