How to Make Rum Glazed Spiced Pecans

  1. Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, prepare the spice mix: Combine 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice.
  3. In a medium saucepan, prepare the glaze: Combine 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 1/4 cup dark rum (or substitute with apple juice for a non-alcoholic version), and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add 3 cups pecan halves to the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, until the pecans are well coated and the glaze is slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the pecans.
  5. Gradually add the spice mix to the pecans, stirring gently to coat evenly. Add 1 tablespoon at a time, ensuring all pecans are spiced.
  6. Transfer the pecans to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them in a single layer to prevent sticking. Let them cool and dry completely at room temperature for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight for extra crispness. For faster drying, you may optionally bake them in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until completely dry.
