How to Make Sugar And Spice Candied Pecans
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1/2 cup water, and 1 cup granulated sugar. Stir constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and 2 cups pecan halves. Continue to stir until the pecans are evenly coated, about 3-5 minutes.
- Spread the candied pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and fragrant, stirring halfway through.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheets before storing.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
