Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecans
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a medium saucepan, combine sour cream, granulated sugar, and salt over medium heat.
Stir constantly until the mixture begins to boil and the sugar dissolves completely.
Once the mixture is smooth and bubbling, reduce the heat to low and cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring often, until the glaze thickens slightly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Add the pecans to the saucepan and gently stir to coat them evenly with the glaze.
Transfer the glazed pecans to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out into a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.
Remove the pecans from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet, where they will crisp up.
Once cooled, store the glazed pecans in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
