Ok, another "process" not really a recipe.

I wanted to have some "candied" pecans for the holidays so here's what I did. I mixed up a bowl with polydextrose (you can order from Honeyville grains or Netrition), splenda and cinnamon (one batch I also used cloves, and that was good too!).

I "washed" the raw pecans in a strainer to get off that bitter pecan dust. Then I put them in a bowl and dumped the polydextrose mixture on top and stirred them well. I put them on a baking sheet and baked them at (oops, trying to remember) 250-300 for about 30 minutes. Then I turned the heat down to as low as it would go and let them dry out for another hour or so.

When they came out they were crunchy like candied pecans and my guests exclaimed over them at my party!

I absolutely love candied ginger, I'll have to try that next time!
