Cheekyricho Candied Pecans

We love candied nuts of all varieties and often buy them warm crispy and fragrant from local produce markets, cooked at the stall by the producers and served in little paper cones with the top folded down. It's usually cheaper to buy 2 so we do and intend to keep one for later. They invariably never make it home. With me making my best sad puppy dog face at Richo so I can have the last one. We also buy fresh nuts from the farmers in an effort to support local producers and embrace the practice of being a 'Locavore' hopefully reducing our footprint on the environment and keeping  our money in the local community. The food Is  fresher and the farmers always have handy new ideas to best utilise their produce whether it be in the preparation for the table or serving it. So it's a win win for everyone. I shared my Macadamia Brittle recipe idea with one stall holder and a few weeks later his wife was telling about this wonderful recipe in YouTube using their nuts. She had no idea she was talking to the creator of that recipe. We had a little chuckle about the complete circle her little round nuts had turned, from the tree to the table. We were both grateful for the feedback. 

So Richo talked me into buying some Pecans, the plan was to make some Thanksgiving Recipes,  at the time I didn't realise Richo was all but addicted to Pecans. Before I knew it there was only a small bowl left for me to show you.  These ones apparently had harder shells he couldn't readily break with his fingers to eat, so they became the Survivors. We joke about call this dish Survivor Pecans but you would never find it and that would defeat the purpose of sharing the recipe with you. So check out our cheekyricho YouTube channel to find our Candied Pecans. The last known Survivors of the Pecan species in the cheekyricho kitchen. (You'll keep Richo)
