  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons orange liqueur

  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  5. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the nuts are toasted and fragrant. Stir halfway through.
  6. While the nuts are baking, prepare the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine the butter, orange liqueur, water, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
  7. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the brown sugar is dissolved.
  8. Once the nuts are out of the oven, pour the glaze over them and toss to coat.

Notes

For extra crunch, toast the nuts in a dry skillet before adding the butter mixture. Feel free to substitute walnuts or macadamia nuts for other nuts. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. These are fantastic sprinkled on ice cream or yogurt!
