Ingredients
  

  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/2 cups raw pecan halves

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium skillet over medium heat, stir together the brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and salt. Cook until the sugar dissolves and bubbles, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the pecans and cook, stirring, until coated, another 1 to 2 minutes.
  4. Spread the pecans in a single layer on the baking sheet and set aside to cool and crisp up.
  5. Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, candied pecans keep well for up to a week. Freeze them for longer storage.
