How to Make Grand Spiced Pecans

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, water, and corn syrup.
  2. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
  3. Continue to cook, without stirring, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (235°F on a candy thermometer).
  4. Remove from heat and immediately stir in the butter until melted and combined.
  5. Add the pecan halves and stir to coat evenly. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  6. Pour the mixture onto a large sheet of waxed paper that has been lightly greased with cooking spray or butter.
  7. Using two forks, gently separate the pecan halves while the mixture is still warm and slightly sticky.
  8. Allow the pecans to cool completely before storing. The pecans will harden as they cool.
  9. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Makes a great gift!
