Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan Halves
- 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 2 Tbsp Water
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Add 2 tablespoons water, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar has dissolved.
- Add 2 cups pecan halves to the skillet. Stir gently to coat the pecans evenly in the brown sugar mixture.
- Continue cooking the pecans for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are completely coated and the glaze has thickened.
- Transfer the pecans to the prepared baking sheet. Use a fork to separate any pecans that are sticking together.
- Let the pecans cool completely at room temperature. The glaze will firm up as the pecans cool.
- Once completely cooled, serve and enjoy.
Notes
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or store in the refrigerator for a few weeks.
