As a child, everyone in my family knew that if the can of salted mixed nuts had no more walnuts, it was because I opened it first. Most of the time, I choose salty foods over sweet ones.

Ingredient

– 2 cups pecan halve – 1 1/4 cups white sugar – 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed – 1/2 teaspoon baking soda – Pinch kosher salt, optional (omit if using salted butter) – 3/4 cup light cream – 2 tablespoons unsalted butter – 1 teaspoon brandy or vanilla, optional

Direction

The nuts taste richer and nuttier after this optional step. Preheat oven to 300°F. Toast pecan halves in a single layer on a baking sheet for 10 minutes, flipping once. Let chill.
