Instructions

  • Combine the brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and water in a skillet over medium heat. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture bubbles.
  • Add the pecan halves and cook for 3 minutes, stirring continuously so every pecan is coated in the glaze.
  • Remove the skillet from the heat and spread the pecans in a single layer on parchment paper.
  • Let the pecans cool completely, then break apart any clusters and serve.

Notes

Cool the pecans completely before storing so the coating sets and stays crisp.
