Steps:
- In a large sauce pan over medium heat, combine evaporated milk, sugar, water and vanilla.
- Heat mixture, stirring often, until sugar is dissolved.
- Add cinnamon and stir. Some may float on top.
- Add 3 cups of pecans to mixture and stir to cover.
- Continue stirring pecans in mixture until pecans become coated well and mixture cooks away (gets absorbed/crystalized on the the pecans).
- Spread hot coated pecans on wax paper; try to separate them as you spread them on the paper.
- Let pecans cool completely.
- Break apart pecans and store in air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
- To give as gifts, put in decorative glass jars or decorative tins lined with wax paper.
- NOTE: I've tried using brown sugar (1:1 with the white sugar), but the pecans have a tendency to come out sticky and the sugars don't get 'crystalized'. I have not tried these with turbinado or unbleached cane sugar yet. If they don't turn out right, I'll have to keep them for myself !

Adapted from Pampered Chef's Season's Best. I love these pecans on a spinach salad with strawberries and feta... mmmmm! I've also been known to eat them all before they get on the salad!

Steps:
- Combine brown sugar, butter, corn syrup and salt in a large skillet.
- Stir over medium heat until butter is melted.
- Add pecans and cook, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes. Make sure pecans are all coated evenly.
- Spread pecans in single layer on parchment paper and cool completely.
Tips:
- Use fresh pecans for the best flavor and texture.
- To remove the pecan skins, place the pecans in a single layer on a baking sheet and roast them in a preheated oven at 350°F for 5-7 minutes, or until the skins start to crack. Then, transfer the pecans to a clean kitchen towel and rub them together to remove the skins.
- If you don't have time to roast the pecans, you can also buy them pre-shelled and unsalted.
- Be careful not to overcook the pecans, or they will become tough and bitter.
- To make the glaze, you can use either light or dark brown sugar. Dark brown sugar will give the pecans a richer flavor.
- If you don't have any vanilla extract, you can substitute almond extract or maple syrup.
- Let the pecans cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their crispy coating.
