Pecan Candy
Recipe by shereen pavlides
2 cups pecan halves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2/3 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 tablespoon half and half
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
Heat oven to 300 degrees F. Once the oven is heated. Arrange the pecans onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with a silpat or parchment paper to warm through, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile: Melt butter in a 2 1/2-quart sauce-pot over medium heat. Add the sugar(s), corn syrup, half and half and salt. Stir until dissolved. Place the candy thermometer onto the side of the pot, making sure the bulb reaches the mixture but not touching the bottom of the pot. Using a rubber spatula gently stir until the sugars are dissolved.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat. Cook until the candy thermometer reaches 275 degrees F. / 135 degrees C. {the soft cracked stage}, 4 - 5 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat and immediately stir in the baking soda, then fold in the warmed pecans, reserving the prepared baking sheet. Work quickly (only stirring a couple times, so you don't cool down the candy, but evenly coat the pecans).
Immediately remove the pecans to the lined parchment paper or silpat baking sheet. Using two forks, quickly separate the pecans, spreading apart.
{Note: do not place the warm baking sheet on a marble or stone countertop. The cold surface will quickly cool down the candy, making it difficult to separate the pecans}.
Leave at room temperature to cool completely and harden,1 - 2 hours. Once fully hardened, break apart as needed into bite sized pieces.
Can store remaining pecans in a tight fitted container and place into the refrigerator, up to 2 weeks.

Bài hướng dẫn làm kẹo hạt pecan nhanh và dễ, đúng 79king kiểu nội dung mình hay lướt qua khi rảnh tay. Danh sách nguyên liệu ngắn nên ai cũng tự làm được, nhưng mình thấy phần chờ đá tan mới là đoạn cần canh, hơi lâu mà lỡ để lâu thì hạt bên ngoài lại chai. Nếu ai thích nhân vừa ăn vừa xem thì video kéo dài bao nhiêu phút thật là thử thách. Bên mình mở app79king ra xem một ván rồi quay lại đo, có lần đá chưa xong thì đã phải vội nhảy sang bếp, cũng giải khuất mấy phút.
My first thought about helping students organise their own learning is that the everyday experience deserves as much attention as the larger explanation. Keeping track of unfinished tasks can make a busy school week feel more manageable. That connection helps me see why student learning organisation can be worth a closer look. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. What kind of planning system is simple enough for students to use consistently?
The topic of making space for questions in the classroom gives me a few things to think about, especially when the discussion moves beyond general advice. A thoughtful pause can give quieter students time to develop an answer. It also gives the phrase student classroom participation a clearer meaning than a label on its own. I would be interested in a simple example, because it is often the ordinary details that make an idea memorable. What helps a classroom welcome questions that do not have an immediate solution?
Considering rebuilding confidence after a learning setback, I keep coming back to the difference between knowing about an idea and putting it into practice. A disappointing result does not have to define the next attempt. I would use that point as a starting question when considering learning confidence recovery. I can imagine different answers depending on the situation, so I would want to understand the context before drawing conclusions. What helps a learner recognise progress after an earlier difficulty?
The subject of developing skills through focused workshops feels more interesting when there is room for a reader to stop and ask their own questions. A short workshop can be useful when it gives participants time to try one specific technique. I would keep that thought nearby when looking for ideas about focused skills workshops. A short discussion of an everyday example would make this easier for me to connect with, especially as someone still learning about the subject. What should a learner be able to do differently after a focused session?
