It is time again for the “Secret recipe club” reveal! I am sure you all know what the club is about, but for the few of you who still don’t know about it, here goes a brief explanation. It is a great concept… each month you are assigned a participating food blogger to make a recipe from and in turn someone else will be assigned your blog. All you have to do is choose a recipe, make it and blog about it on the specified date. The only rule is to keep it a secret! If you are interested in learning more, or want to join the club, please visit the Secret recipe club website.
The blog I got assigned this month is Join Us, Pull up a Chair written by the very talented Heather. She’s been blogging for a looong time, so her blog is full of amazing recipes. I chose to make her Rum glazed roasted Pecans because… I LOVE rum! It is my absolute favourite liquor and it always reminds me of the wonderful time I had in Cuba years ago. So, when I saw these pecans, I simply could not resist! I adapted her original recipe following her comments and suggestions – I used only brown sugar and dark rum instead of white rum, for a stronger flavour – and loved it. It’s a very simple recipe and the final result is amazing! You won’t be able to stop at one!
Thank you so much for sharing such a fantastic recipe Heather! Please, make sure you drop by Heather’s blog and check out her beautiful site!
Rum Glazed Roasted Pecans
Rum Glazed Roasted Pecans - oh so good!
Ingredients
- ½ cup brown sugar
- ¼ tsp salt
- 4 tbsp rum
- 2 cups whole pecans
Instructions
-
In a medium sauce pan, heat the sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons of rum over medium-high heat until it boils. At this point, stir the mixture until the syrup starts to turn clear and turn the heat down to medium-low so the syrup doesn’t burn.
-
Pour in the pecans. Once the pecans are coated, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of rum. The syrup will thin out at this point. Stir continuously until the syrup returns to a boil.
-
Spoon the pecans onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
-
Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C – 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes until the bubbling stops and the syrup appears hard.
-
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a baking sheet.
-
Break apart and store in an air tight container or glass jar.
Love travelling as much as cooking?
Many of the recipes I share are inspired by places I’ve visited around the world. On Travel with Manu you’ll find destination guides, itineraries and travel inspiration to help you plan your next adventure.
These look so moorish! Great idea
I am completely impressed…and smitten for this recipe! I would’ve never thought of such a combo but goodness does it ever make sense and look GOOD!! Super great pick for SRC ! 🙂
Manu Another hit ! This time pecans. As a person you has stopped eating meat (including chicken) , i always enjoy powerful flavors and textures from plant kingdom.. image placing a few of these babies on some butter pecan vanilla ice cream ?
I recently found this kind of wok/ skillet . I think it would work wonders for this kind of garnish.

p.s Quanto mi manca l’Italia !
I love candied nuts in salad or oatmeal (or by the handful). These look so good I may have to try making them the next time I have pecans around. Great SRC post.
Thank you for the kind words Manuela! These are so delicious!
Yum! These look so delish, perfect to top a salad with!
