RECIPE: Sweet and Salty Candied Pecans

Ingredients

• 2 T. Butter
• 1/2 c. + 2 T. brown sugar
• 2 large pinches of kosher salt
• 2 T. Water
• 2 C. pecan halves

 

Directions

 Combine butter, sugar, salt, and water in a nonstick pan. Bring to a boil over medium high heat and let boil for one minute. Add candied pecans and stir until covered and sugar mixture begins to thicken (abt 2-3 minutes). Pour Pecans onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper or a sil-pat. Spread pecans around so they are not in one big clump and let harden (you could put them in the refrigerator to speed up the process). Once cooled and hardened, add to salad.
