How to Make Groundhog Pecans
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, combine 4 cups pecan halves with 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted, 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/8 teaspoon ground mace, and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt.
- Toss until pecans are evenly coated.
- Lightly spray a large rimmed baking sheet with cooking oil spray.
- Spread the pecan mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until pecans are toasted, fragrant, and the syrup is absorbed. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet to room temperature (about 25 minutes).
- Store in an airtight container (tin or glass jar) at room temperature for up to three weeks.
