-
3
cups
raw pecans, whole
-
1
Tbsp
water
-
3
Tbsp
pure maple syrup
-
2/3
cup
brown sugar
-
1/3
cup
granulated sugar
-
3/4
tsp
ground cinnamon
-
cinnamon sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
-
In a large saucepan, over medium-low heat, combine all ingredients except pecans. Stir until all sugar and spices have dissolved completely.
-
Add in pecans, making sure all nuts are coated with the sugar mixture.
-
Once coated, stir constantly (on med-low heat) for about 7-8 minutes, or until there is no more liquid in the pot. Remove from heat immediately (otherwise the sugars might burn).
-
As soon as the nuts are done, pour nuts onto a sheet of parchment paper to cool (make sure they are flat and in a single layer, otherwise the nuts will stick to each other). If you want to sprinkle with cinnamon sugar to give them a 'sugared' look (as pictured), do it while the nuts are cooling so the cinnamon sugar will stick.

Enjoy!
