Candied Pecans

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, boiling water, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cream of tartar, and boiling water. Cook over medium heat, stirring until the mixture comes to a boil. Continue to cook at a slow boil for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 2

Remove from the heat and stir in the pecans, then the vanilla. Stir until the pecans are fully coated.

Step 3

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the pecans on top. Using a fork, separate the pecans and let cool for 10 to 20 minutes. Pour into a party bowl and serve.
