How to Make Village Whiskey's Spicy Pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup dry sherry, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons water, and 1/2 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon hot sauce (adjust to your preferred heat level). Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.
  3. In a medium bowl, whip 2 large egg whites until soft peaks form.
  4. Add 2 cups pecan halves to a large bowl. Pour the warm sherry mixture over the pecans and toss gently to coat completely.
  5. Carefully fold in the whipped egg whites until the pecans are evenly coated. Drain off any excess liquid.
  6. Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Roast for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant, shaking the pan halfway through.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy!
