These candied pecans are so quick and easy to throw together and are great for adding to salads or just to munch on! I always have several before they can make it to my salad. We loved them in our Pomegranate Pear Salad with Orange Vinaigrette Dressing.
TO MAKE THE CANDIED PECANS:
Place 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoons water in a pan on the stove top.
Cook over medium heat while stirring until mixture begins to bubble. It smells sooooooooo good!
Now add your pecans. Continue to stir and cook about 2 to 3 minutes until liquid reduces and pecans are well coated. The sugar can turn from good to burned quickly so watch them carefully.
Pour pecans out onto parchment paper. Once they are cooled break a part and devour!
Easy peasy! Really the hardest part is just waiting for them to cool. Hope you give these a try!
