Ingredients
- 3 cups pecan halves
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup prepared orange juice
- 1 Tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cloves
Instructions
-
Spread pecans on an ungreased cookie sheet.
-
Bake pecans @ 275 degrees for 10 minutes.
-
In a saucepan, combine sugar, orange juice, cinnamon, salt and cloves. Bring to a boil and then boil for 2 minutes longer.
-
Remove pan from heat, and stir in pecans. Mix well.
-
Using a slotted spoon, remove nuts and place on waxed paper or aluminum foil, trying to keep the pecans separated from each other (I use a fork to help separate).
-
Let the pecans dry for several hours (or until dry to the touch), then break up any of the pecans that are "stuck" to each other.
-
Store the pecans in a covered container to keep them at their peak freshness. This recipe makes approximately 4 1/2 cups. Enjoy!
