Best Drunken Nuts Sallye Recipes

DRUNKEN PECAN PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Mix together the granulated sugar, corn syrup, butter, bourbon, brown sugar, vanilla, salt and eggs in a bowl.
• Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to fit a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. With a spatula, lift the dough carefully from the surface of the counter into the pie plate. Gently press the dough against the corner of the plate. Go around the pie plate, pinching and tucking the dough to make a clean edge.
• Pour the pecans in the bottom of the unbaked pie shell. Pour the filling over the top. Lightly cover the crust with foil so it does not burn.
• Bake for 50 minutes. Remove the foil and bake until set, being careful not to burn the crust, another 20 to 30 minutes. Allow to cool for 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Before serving, make the whipped cream by combining the heavy cream, powdered sugar and bourbon in a large bowl and whisking until soft peaks form.
• Slice the pie into wedges and top with the whipped cream.
• Combine the flour and salt in a bowl. Add the cold butter and, using a pastry cutter, work the butter into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles tiny pebbles. Add the egg, 1/4 cup cold water, bourbon and vinegar. Stir until just combined. Chill until needed.

SWEET, SALTY, SPICY PARTY NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with cooking spray.
• Combine walnut halves, pecan halves, almonds, and cashews in a large bowl. Add salt, black pepper, cumin, and cayenne pepper; toss to coat.
• Heat sugar, water, and butter in a small saucepan over medium heat until the butter is melted. Cook for 1 minute and remove from heat. Slowly pour butter mixture over the bowl of nuts and stir to coat.
• Transfer nuts to the prepared baking sheet and spread into a single layer.
• Bake nuts in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Stir nuts until the warm syrup coats every nut. Spread into a single layer, return to the oven, and bake until nuts are sticky and roasted, about 6 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.

DRUNKEN PECANS

Steps:

• 1. Whisk together maple or Karo syrup and 1 cup of your brown sugar and cinnamon in a large sauce pan. Add the bourbon or Amaretto and the vanilla or almond extract. The alcohol will cook out and just leave the flavor.
• 2. Bring to a boil over medium heat stirring constantly. Add the pecans or whatever kind of nuts you prefer.
• 3. Keep stirring over med heat until the pecans are coated in the sugar mixture.
• 4. Continue to cook, stirring frequently until the liquid becomes thick and starts to solidify on your spoon. It needs to reach a high enough temperature for the sugar mixture to harden when cooled. (at least 240 degrees on candy thermometer)
• 5. Remove from heat and add the remaining cup of brown sugar to the pan, quickly toss until all the nuts are coated with the sugar. Pour out on a sprayed, foil lined cookie sheet to cool and break apart any big pieces that are clumped together.
• 6. Once they are cool they will be hard and crunchy. Technically they will keep for a few weeks in a sealed container, but they're usually gone in a few hours.
