Number Of Ingredients 9

1 c salted pecans
1 c sugar
1/4 c water
1 1/4 chopped jalapeno
1/2 c light corn syrup
1 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tbsp soft butter
1 1/4 tsp baking soda
oil or butter for greasing baking sheet

Steps:

Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper. Grease with butter or oil. Set aside.
Measure out all your ingredients. This entire process moves pretty quickly. No time for measuring once the sugar and syrup are ready.
Bring to a soft boil the water, sugar, and syrup. Then bring to a full on hot boil for about 10 minutes. Do not stir. Swirl the mixture by moving the pan over the heat a couple of times. The mixture will turn golden and will start to smoke. Remove from heat.
Armed with a wooden spoon, quickly mix i the pecans, butter, jalapenos and baking soda into the sugary, syrupy, mixture. Immediately pour onto prepared baking sheet. Smooth it out to form a nice golden sheet of pecans.
Let it cool. Then break into pieces and y'all enjoy. It tastes sweet, salty, and spicy. Wonderful.
