15:36
it
15:37
to totally cool in that pan okay we
15:39
don't have a mess
15:40
okay all right so how long do you leave
15:43
it cool before you try to turn it like
15:44
two or three minutes oh that okay not
15:46
long okay
15:48
all right now so you just melt that okay
15:53
and i'm just gonna toss our pecans okay
15:56
and you know nuts will scorch so quick
15:58
well so i've got to be real careful
16:01
you know what i'm gonna do i'm gonna put
16:03
a little butter okay cool
16:11
that looks really really good all right
16:13
so i'm gonna cut that off okay
16:16
and because i'm a big fan of sweet and
16:18
savory
16:19
yeah yum i'm just gonna put a little
16:21
yeah i like that too
16:22
because we have the sweetness from the
16:24
cranberries
16:26
and you have sugar in here yeah there we
16:29
go
16:30
yum now we just need to let those cool
16:33
now this is
16:33
dissolved so does that mean oh you want
16:36
yeah all you want is that dissolved
16:38
okay all right now we need to measure
16:41
out
16:42
just squirt it with about a tablespoon
16:44
of dijon
16:45
oh and then about a half a volleyball
16:51
donna what you're supposed to slowly
16:55
incorporate that you're supposed to add
16:58
your olive oil very slowly
17:01
and almost like emulsify
17:04
you have to dump that whole thing in
17:06
there so it's your problem you beat that
17:08
