Spiced Pecans 

by Jackie at Syrup and Biscuits

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • 2 cups pecans (pronounced puh-kahns) shelled

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a heavy pan except pecan halves.  Stir and bring to a boil.   Boil for 2 minutes stirring constantly.   Sneeze three or four times.  I’m not sure if sneezing  is necessary but I can’t make these without  the cayenne pepper making  me sneeze.   I wouldn’t  take any chances, if  I were you.  Just gone on and sneeze.
Remove from heat and add pecans halves.   Stir well until they’re all coated.  Pour onto  a baking sheet that has been heavily greased or use a Silpat baking mat.
Separate the pecan halves as best you can using two forks sprayed with a non-stick spray.
Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes or until the pecans start to brown.
Remove from oven and let cool.   Store in an airtight container.
