Como fazer Ila's Orange Crusted Pecans

In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and the zest of 1 large orange. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
Reduce heat to low and add 2 cups of pecan halves. Simmer gently, stirring frequently, for approximately 10-15 minutes, or until the water has evaporated and the pecans are coated in a thick, shiny, crystallized sugar coating.
The glaze will initially be clear, then turn opaque as the water evaporates, and finally crystallize onto the pecans.
Once the pecans are evenly coated and the sugar crystals are dry, remove from heat.
Immediately spread the pecans in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely. This prevents the pecans from sticking together.
