Step 1
Prepare a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet (or your counter if it's heat resistant)
Step 2
Combine, the pecans, sugar, water and salt (if using)In a medium-large skillet (it's best to use a deep skillet, to prevent the sugar from splashing, but a regular skillet will work as well). Have a wooden spoon handy as well
Step 3
Cook over high heat until it boils, about 1-2 minutes, and reduce heat to medium-high
Step 4
Continue cooking and stirring with a wooden spoon until the liquid becomes thicker and darker in color, about 4-5 minutes, and reduce the heat to medium
Step 5
Continue cooking until all the water evaporates and stir constantly until the sugar crystallizes and becomes sandy, about 3-5 minutes. Lower temperature to low (check out the video or the images in the blog post)
Step 6
Once all the pecans are coated with the sugar crystals, keep stirring until the sugar starts melting again and starts coating the pecans with a shiny sugar coating. Not all the pecan will have an even coating (SEE NOTE 3)
Step 7
Remove from heat and place the pecans on the prepared parchment paper.
Step 8
Let the candied pecans cool completely. DO NOT TOUCH THE HOT PECANS, THEY WILL BURN YOUR SKIN. BE CAREFUL!
Step 9
Once the candied pecans have cooled completely, separate any that have clumped together.
Step 10
Store in a glass jar with a tight lid.
