Tips:

  • Use fresh pecans. Fresh pecans have a better flavor and texture than stale pecans. If you can't find fresh pecans, you can use frozen pecans, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Toast the pecans before using. Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. To toast the pecans, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • Use a good quality cinnamon. The cinnamon is one of the main flavors in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality cinnamon. Look for Ceylon cinnamon, which is considered to be the best type of cinnamon.
  • Don't overcook the pecans. The pecans should be cooked until they are golden brown and fragrant, but not overcooked. Overcooked pecans will be dry and tough.
