Ingredients

½ cup water

½ cup granulated sugar

2 ½ cups coarsely chopped pecans

Kosher salt, to taste

Directions

MAKE THE CANDIED PECANS:

Preheat oven to 375° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a small saucepan on the stovetop, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, whisking to dissolve the sugar. Remove from the heat, stir in the pecans; toss to coat. Spread the nuts on a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Toast in the oven for about 8-10 minutes, or until toasty. Keep a close eye on them so that they don’t burn. While still warm, sprinkle the nuts with a little bit of kosher salt to taste. Set aside to cool completely. Once cool, you can store the candied nuts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a month.
