Cooking Experiments

I made the 7 Layer Brownie Bars off the Ghiradelli Brownie box and while it was toooo sweet for me, my favorite part was the pecans where some of the condensed milk had caramelized on them. So I decided I would try to make caramelized pecans. My first attempt isn’t a total failure, but I had too much condensed milk. I think next time I will mix the nuts with the milk in a bowl, giving them a thin coat and then bake them in the oven after straining them from the bulk of the sweetened condensed milk.

Tonight I am going to do a “mock grilled” pineapple. Our grill died, so I am going to use my little kitchen blow torch to brown & caramelize slices of pineapple. Hopefully it turns out ok.
