Tips:

Use fresh pecans. Fresh pecans have a better flavor and texture than older pecans.
Toast the pecans before glazing them. Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy.
Use a good quality sour cream. The sour cream is the main ingredient in the glaze, so it's important to use a good quality sour cream.
Don't overcook the pecans. The pecans should be glazed until they are just coated, but not so long that they become overcooked and chewy.
Let the pecans cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their crunchy texture.

Conclusion:

Sour cream glazed pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they also make a great gift. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a batch of sour cream glazed pecans that everyone will love.
