This set is only 2 years old with no obvious signs of wear. It arrived at my doorstep in February of 2024. It comes with a free clear 1.5mm tabletop protector and the original assembly hardware and instructions. The table’s high gloss, Euro style looks contemporary and the six high-back silver lined dining chairs are comfy and elegant. Selling because the set is too large for our space.
Pick-up/Meet-up options: Available for viewing High Springs, Florida every day until 6PM.
Specifications: Dimensions: 84.5W x 36D x 30H Weight: Table: 80.9 lb | Chairs: unknown, but pretty heavy
So I was feeling nostalgic and decided to watch this YouTube video 25 Christmas Appetizers from the 1970s That Have Faded into History, and the next-to-last item on the list sent me to Pinterest looking for a candied pecans recipe. On the first search, I found the most tantalizing, mouthwatering display of candied pecans that I had to have. Unfortunately, there was no link leading directly to the site – don’t you hate that? – so I had to manually type in “containedcuisine.com” and search for “candied pecans” in the search box on the site. To save you the time and trouble of following in my footsteps, here is the link to the Stovetop Cinnamon Sugar Candied Pecans. I must admit, though, they are so good that you might regret making them, as I did. I have made at least three trips to the pecan jar since writing this post, and this is only the first paragraph!
On the upside, however, the sugary delightfulness of these nuts instantly put me in the holiday spirit, and I realized these would be a perfect holiday gift for neighbors, friends, and family, so that is exactly what I will do. Of course, I look forward to sharing these decadent treats with everyone I know, but my Mephistopheles insists that I share these addictive delectable treats to share the pain of unrelenting self-indulgence. Let us seek comfort in the feeble excuse that “It’s the holidays” and munch on. After all, at this quickened rate of consumption, they surely will not last for long, and this delicious reign of terror will finally cease. So, to the gift recipients of these blissful bites and to the readers of this candid confession, you’re welcome and enjoy!
How to Make
Equipment:
Small bowl or 16oz measuring cup for mixing
Large cookie sheet for cooling
Parchment paper to line the cookie sheet
Non-stick skillet for cooking
Wooden or Silicone spatula for coating the pecans
A couple of forks to separate the nuts
Ingredients:
Pecan Halves
Brown Sugar
Ground Cinnamon
Vanilla Extract
Orange Zest
Water
Salt
Instructions:
Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, orange zest and water in a in a small bowl then add the mixture to a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Stir to combine and bring to a boil making sure the bubbles cover the entire surface of the mixture.
Add pecans to the skillet and stir to coat the nuts. Continue cooking until the glaze has reduced – about 5 minutes. Add a tablespoon of water to spread the candy coating around if needed. Let it cook until you see a crunchy cinnamon sugar coating that sticks to the pecans.
Transfer the pecans to a large parchment paper-lined cookie sheet or countertop as I did.
Use two forks to quickly separate the nuts into a single layer before they harden.
Cool for 20 minutes, then separate any stuck nuts.
