Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1/2 orange, zested
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups toasted pecans

Steps:

  • In a deep saucepan, combine the sugar, water, orange zest, and cinnamon and bring to a boil. Add the pecans and simmer, stirring, as the water evaporates. The glaze will be shiny and transparent at first, then turn opaque, and crystallize as the water cooks away.
  • When the nuts are completely coated with sugar crystals, they are done. Spread them out on a sheet pan to cool. (To wash the saucepan, soak it overnight.)
