Awesome Pecans Recipe

Ingredients for Awesome Pecans

• 1/2 cup honey
• Dried Chipotle Powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• Pecan Halves
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt

How to Make Awesome Pecans

1. In a large skillet, warm 1/2 cup honey over very low heat.
2. Add 1 teaspoon chipotle powder and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin.
3. Stir constantly until smooth and spices are well distributed (about 1 minute).
4. Add 4 cups pecans to the skillet. Continue cooking over low heat, stirring frequently, until all surfaces are well coated with the honey mixture (about 5-7 minutes). Do not let the mixture boil.
5. Transfer pecans to a parchment-lined baking sheet, separating them into a single layer.
6. Bake at 275°F (135°C) for 30-40 minutes, or until toasted but not caramelized, shaking the pan halfway through.
7. While pecans bake, in a large bowl, mix 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
8. When pecans are done and still warm, add them to the bowl with the sugar and salt.
9. Gently toss with your hands until the pecans are cool and evenly coated with the sugar/salt mixture.
10. Store in an airtight glass jar for up to 2 weeks.
