1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Tips:

  • Use fresh pecans. Fresh pecans will have a sweeter, richer flavor than stale pecans.
  • Toast the pecans before glazing them. Toasting the pecans will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a good quality whiskey. The whiskey you use will have a big impact on the flavor of the pecans. Choose a whiskey that you enjoy drinking.
  • Don't overcook the pecans. Overcooked pecans will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are coated in the glaze and heated through.
  • Let the pecans cool completely before serving. This will help the glaze to set and the pecans to become crispy.

Whiskey glazed pecans are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they also make a great gift. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can create a batch of whiskey glazed pecans that everyone will love.
