Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoons (28 g / 0.99 oz) unsalted butter
  • 1⁄8 cup / 25g (0.88 oz) packed brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon (21 g / 0.74 oz) honey
  • 1 teaspoon (3 g / 0.11 oz) ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup (110 g / 3.9 oz) pecan halves
  • For easy cleanup and to prevent sticking, spread the hot pecans on a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat instead of a greased pan.
  • Ensure the pecans are completely cool before storing them. Storing them while still warm will create steam and cause them to lose their signature crunch.
  • Watch the glaze carefully as it boils to prevent it from burning. The process happens very quickly once the sugar starts to caramelize.

Method
 

  1. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
  2. Stir in the brown sugar, honey, and ground cinnamon until combined.
  3. Add the pecans to the saucepan, stirring gently to coat each one completely in the glaze mixture.
  4. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly for about 2-3 minutes, or until the sugar is fully dissolved and the glaze has thickened.
  5. Immediately pour the glazed pecans onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread them into a single layer.
  6. Allow the pecans to cool completely.
  7. Once cool, break apart any clumps and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  8. Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of nutmeg along with the cinnamon to create a sweet and spicy flavor profile.
