Fall time reminds me of Pecans, my favorite nut. Our family orginally came from a small town famous for their large harvest of Pecan. This is a great treat or appetizer for the fall season. You may want to make a double recipe as it goes really fast. Enjoy!

Tips:

Choose the freshest pecans you can find. Fresh pecans will have a sweet, nutty flavor. Avoid pecans that are shriveled or have dark spots.
Use a heavy-bottomed pan. This will help to prevent the pecans from burning.
Be careful not to overcrowd the pan. If the pan is too crowded, the pecans will not cook evenly.
Stir the pecans frequently. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly and that the sugar coating does not burn.
Remove the pecans from the heat as soon as they are coated in sugar. If you leave them on the heat for too long, the sugar will burn and the pecans will be bitter.
Let the pecans cool completely before serving. This will help the sugar coating to harden and prevent the pecans from sticking together.
Store the pecans in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. They will keep for up to two weeks.
