Holiday Pineapple Macadamia Nut Dip W/ Candied Spiced Pecans
An enticing recipe for the upcoming holiday season that combines the savory fruit taste of pineapple with the spicy accompaniment of the toasted pecans.
Ingredients
- 2 lbs cream cheese
- 1 cup chopped macadamia nuts
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 cups drained pineapple
- 1 lb halved pecans
- 1 tbsp Tabasco
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup honey
Dip Method
Add all ingredients to a robocoupe or processor and pulse until blended
Pecan Method
1) Use a medium saute pan and place on medium heat.
2) Add pecans and toss in pan for 3-5 minutes without letting them burn.
3) Add the brown sugar and honey and pour the Tabasco on top.
4) Watch very closely because when the brown sugar starts to melt, you need to keep tossing it so it won’t burn.
5) When the brown sugar has completely melted, remove the pecans from the heat and place on an oiled pan and put into fridge.
6) You can also serve the pecans warm after they have solidified.
7) Drizzle them on top of the dip for a lovely garnish.
