Pecans On Fire

• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
• 2 teaspoons hungarian paprika
• 1 pound pecan halves
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar to 2 cups
• 2 quarts canola oil

1. Combine salt, pepper, and paprika in a bowl, and set aside.
2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the pecans, and blanch them for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and drain well. Transfer the hot pecans to a large bowl. Add confectioners' sugar, and toss well to coat.
3. Heat the oil slowly in a large, heavy-bottomed stockpot over medium heat to approximately 350 degrees. Carefully add the pecans in small batches (add slowly so the oil doesn't splatter), and fry until golden, about 4 minutes. Remove the pecans from the oil with a slotted spoon, and transfer to baking pan.
4. Season nuts with the pepper mixture. Let cool, and store in an airtight container.
