Candied Pecans

​I find these candied pecans as irresistible as candy. Use them in salads or put them in pretty little plastic bags and give them as gifts.

Servings: 8       Serving size: ¼ cup       Preparation time: 15 minutes        Baking time: 12 to 15 minutes

Ingredients: ⅓ cup honey 1 tablespoon water 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice ¼ teaspoon sea salt *2 cups unsalted pecans 1 tablespoon sugar

*Walnuts can be substituted for pecans.

​Directions 1. Preheat oven to 325° and line the baking sheet with parchment paper. 2. Combine honey, water, pumpkin pie spice, and sea salt in a medium bowl. (Set sugar aside.) Stir in pecans until coated with honey mixture. 3. Using a slotted spoon, place pecans in a single layer on the baking sheet. 4. Sprinkle with sugar. 5. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, turning halfway through baking time. Watch closely so that they don’t burn but bake until they are no longer sticky. 6. Cool slightly on the baking sheet. Remove and cool completely. 7. Store in a tightly covered container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
