Well I bought about 6lbs of nuts this weekend including peanuts, walnuts and pecans.
Like the usual fool that I am , I jumped right in to maple coat the pecans instead of practicing on the less expensive peanuts. First the syrup went up and over covered the stovetop, Panicking I picked up the s/s handle and got a real hot hand real quick! I proceeded to lose some more boiling syrup by hap hazardly moving the pan off the stove. After my wife yelling at me "you need another kitchen for your messy projects!", I re grouped and cleaned up and I added some more syurp and went at it again. This time I went way over temp and ended up with candy pecans instead of sugar coated. :mad::mad:
After getting through that disaster, I proceeded made perfect batches of peanuts and walnuts. Redemption.
