Steps:
- Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- Mix the salt, cumin, cayenne, cinnamon and orange peel together in a small bowl and set aside.

Add the butter and stir until it melts. Add the spice mixture and stir to combine. Once combined, add both sugars and water, stirring until the mixture thickens and coats the nuts, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.

FIVE SPICE
At once musky and sweet, with a pronounced kick, five spice is traditionally made from equal parts cinnamon, cloves, fennel seeds, star anise and peppercorns (usually Sichuan or white). This one, adapted from Kian Lam Kho, the author of "Phoenix Claws and Jade Trees: Essential Techniques of Authentic Chinese Cooking" (Clarkson Potter, 2015), includes Sichuan peppercorns to give the mix a characteristically numbing, tingly sensation on the tongue known as mala. Once the spices are toasted and mixed, the blend can be used both whole (simmered into stews, braises and soups) and ground (added to sauces, roasted meats and vegetables). Or, stir some salt into the ground blend and use it as a piquant table condiment: It's wonderful sprinkled on everything from barbecued meats to scrambled eggs.

Steps:
- Place a small skillet over medium heat. Add spices and toast, stirring, until fragrant, 2 to 4 minutes. Pour into a small bowl and set aside to cool. If using the whole spices for a braise, they are ready to go.
- To make the spices into a powder, use a spice grinder, clean coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle to grind the spices until fine. If you like, you can strain the mix through a fine-mesh strainer to remove any coarse bits, but this is optional. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
Tips for Making Five-Spice Pecans:
- Use high-quality pecans. Fresh, plump pecans will give you the best results.
- Toast the pecans before using. This will enhance their flavor and make them more crispy.
- Use a variety of spices. The five-spice powder typically includes cinnamon, star anise, cloves, fennel seeds, and Sichuan peppercorns. You can also add other spices, such as ginger, nutmeg, or cardamom, to taste.
- Don't overcrowd the pan. When you're toasting the pecans, make sure to spread them out in a single layer so that they can toast evenly.
- Watch the pecans carefully. They can burn easily, so be sure to stir them frequently.
- Let the pecans cool completely before storing them. This will help them to stay crispy.
Conclusion:
Five-spice pecans are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or used in a variety of recipes. They're also a great gift idea for friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients, you can easily make your own five-spice pecans at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
