Ingredients
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup water
- ½ teaspoon almond or vanilla extract
- 2 cup pecan halves or chopped pecans
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients except the pecans in a non-stick skillet and stir well over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is bubbly.
- Add the pecans and cook, stirring to coat the pecans in the syrup. Allow to reduce, stirring occasionally to ensure the pecans and syrup don't burn, for about 5 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, and pour the pecans out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, spreading them into one layer with a silicone spatula, to let the pecans cool. Once completely cooled down, break apart and keep in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
