Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 c pecan halves
2/3 c brown sugar
1 tsp rum flavoring
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 c water
3 Tbsp butter melted

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place the pecan halves, sugar, melted butter, rum flavoring, salt, and water in a bowl and mix together.
  • 2. Cover a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Spread the nut mixture on the parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes and then remove the pan from the oven. Stir the nuts with a stiff spatula; then spread them again to continue baking. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes.
  • 3. Bake for 10 minutes and then remove the pan from the oven. Stir the nuts with a stiff spatula; then spread them again to continue baking. Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven. If there is syrup around the edges, stir it one more time into the nuts. Then let the nuts cool on the parchment paper. When they have cooled completely, break the nut clusters apart and place them on a plate. The nuts will become crunchier as they dry.
