Cómo preparar Pumpkin Pecan Candy Ball Shaped Candy
- Combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut, and 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree in a heavy medium saucepan.
- Place over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and reaches the soft-ball stage (235-240°F on a candy thermometer), approximately 15-20 minutes. Be careful not to burn.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Pour the cooked mixture into a lightly greased bowl. Cover the surface immediately with plastic wrap or wax paper to prevent a skin from forming.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely to room temperature.
- Once cooled, roll 1 tablespoon of the mixture into a ball between your palms.
- Roll each ball in 1/2 cup chopped pecans.
- Place the finished candy balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or tray.
- Store the candies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- **Variation: Pumpkin Pie Pecan Candy:** Before cooking, add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves to the pumpkin mixture for an extra layer of warm spice.
