  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   4       c            Pecan halves
   6       c            Water, boiling (or more)
   1       c            Sugar
   2       c            Oil

  NOTE:  This dish must be started a full 24 hours before you plan to serve
  it.
  
  Put pecans in a large pot or heat-proof bowl.  Cover with boiling water and
  let them soak 3 minutes.  Drain the pecans and spread them in a single
  layer on a large platter or non-rusting cookie sheet. Cover with sugar and
  stir until pecans are completely coated with the sugar. (The sugar will
  dissolve slightly.)  You might have to add water if the nuts are too dry
  for the sugar to stick.
  
  Transfer the sugared nuts to a dry platter and set them aside to air-dry
  overnight.  They really need to dry for 24 hours.
  
  When ready to serve the pecans, bring the oil almost to the smoking point
  in a wok or large pot.  Fry one quarter of them at a time, being careful
  not to let them burn.  The sugar will melt. Carefully remove the cooked
  nuts from the hot oil with a strainer and put them on a heatproof glass
  platter.  Fry each quarter of the nuts individually so all of them will get
  hot enough for the sugar to melt. Serve immediately.
