No thermometer! I've got heavy pecan-toffee-fudge syrup now, it's been sitting overnight and thought it would be good with second coffee so I tried to cut some and d*mn. Had to get a spoon! It's been 60 to 63 here so it's not that. Had a spoonful and it does taste good, but this classifies as a fail. The recipe using the sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar is what I'll go back to. Can't properly make toffee without a thermometer I mean people did way back before thermometers but I bet it mostly sucked 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebes Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 Instead of toffee just coat those pecans with a mixture of cinnamon, brown sugar and real, and I mean, real, maple syrup. Place on baking sheet paper and bake for about 20 minutes or so and wallah! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never had the real McCoy until I was in my thirties, Log Cabin still had me satisfied the five times a year I ate pancakes. No turning back since I had the real stuff though. I've even put it in with bad coffee a couple of times instead of sugar. Pralines are great in ice cream but I like pecans fresh and raw the best. Lost my supply, our neighbor cut his tree down a few years back. The toffee was Heath bar bits in a bag at the baking aisle where I got those $$ Georgia pecans. I did pull the rest of the pecans out of the liquid fudge and eat them but had to toss the rest. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scaling is mostly from water vapor, that cooks off, what is in the water, or sugars in steamed food. Either way, the nasty covers off we begin, we'll see if Easy Off is up to the job I wonder if it's too cold outside for the chemical reactions.... Maybe we can get a sponsor for the Food Porn Section 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, granted, there is the southern pralines with the pecans but those are almost never made with that Yankee secret sauce, maple syrup. Maybe those ones should have a their own special, something like "Maplelines". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No turning back since I had the real stuff though. Probably kinda like the first time you heard real music. One of the great things in life is discovering a real something, a flavor, a feeling, a whatever. It's one of the fun things that make life worth living. It's always nice, like in the case of maple syrup, that the alternative to the processed stuff is not that much more expensive but imparts magic the mass produced alternative simply can't do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep maple syrup is not used here ; molasses mostly , but the concept is the same . 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
