Sweet N Salty Fried Pecans
2 T. sugar
Oil for deep frying
Salt
In medium pot, boil 3 c. water. Add pecans and return to boil for 1 minute. Drain nuts.
Place hot nuts in a bowl and add sugar, stirring until dissolved.
Heat 1" of oil to 360 degrees. Or, as I do, until it is "hot enough!" Carefully add nuts and stir lightly until golden...about 3 minutes.
Transfer nuts to collander and season to taste with salt. Coarse sea salt and regular table salt give different results, but both are equally good! The table salt sticks a little bit better, but the coarse salt provides an extra crunch. Lightly stir nuts as they cool to keep them from sticking together.
Cool completely. These can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of weeks, even frozen for 3-4, but if anyone knows they're around, you'll never be able to independently verify this. They're that good.
