Traditionally, candied pecans are made in the oven, but I find that method to be a little too laborious and complicated. Since I can remember, I have been cooking candied pecans on the stove, and it only takes me five minutes to complete. It’s quite simple!

Notes

• Storage: These can be stored in an airtight jar for about one week.

• Freezing: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

• If the nuts are sticky: If the pecans turn out sticky, this means the sugar never reached a high enough temperature to have that hard crack “brittle” coating on the outside. Electric stoves tend to have less heat power and responsiveness as compared to gas stoves, so cook for a few minutes longer if you have an electric stove or a weaker gas stove. Just watch and smell to ensure it doesn’t burn.
