Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups pecan halves
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add unsalted butter to the skillet and melt it completely.
Stir in the honey, ground cinnamon, and salt, mixing until the ingredients are well combined and the mixture starts to bubble slightly.
Add the pecan halves to the skillet and toss to coat them evenly in the honey mixture.
Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring frequently, for 4-5 minutes or until the pecans are glossy and slightly caramelized.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the pecans to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spread the pecans out into a single layer, ensuring they don’t clump together as they cool.
Let the pecans cool completely at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. They will harden as they cool.
Store the honey glazed pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
