Sweet and Spicy Pecans image

These pecans have graced our family's Christmas sweet gift platters. I've also sprinkled them over my gourmet salads. They add so much in either case. I can't get enough of them! Lining the pans with parchment paper makes for easier removal of the pecans and easier cleanup!

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup white sugar
5 cups hot water
10 cups pecan halves
⅔ cup white sugar

Steps:

  • Stir 1 cup sugar into the hot water in a large bowl until the sugar is completely dissolved. Soak the pecans in the water for 1 hour; drain.
