Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

2 cups whole pecan halves
1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
4 tablespoons heavy cream

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°.
In a medium bowl, combine all ingredients.
Spread out onto a baking sheet, sprayed with cooking spray.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until coating is dry, and slightly crystallized, stirring once.
Remove from oven and remove from baking sheet.
If not serving immediately, store in an airtight container.

Tips:

Choose the right pecans. Fresh pecans are the best choice for this recipe, as they will have the best flavor. If you can't find fresh pecans, you can use frozen or vacuum-packed pecans. Just be sure to thaw them before using.
Use a good quality butter. The butter is one of the main ingredients in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality butter. Look for a butter that is made from fresh cream and has a rich, creamy flavor.
Don't overcook the pecans. The pecans should be cooked until they are just golden brown. If you overcook them, they will become dry and brittle.
Let the pecans cool completely before storing them. This will help to prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Glazed pecans are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or used as a topping for desserts, salads, and other dishes. They are also a great gift for friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own glazed pecans at home. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
