With a slotted spoon or fork, remove pecans and add them to the sugar mixture, don't dump in the extra liquid. Pour pecans out onto prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour 15 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes or so. The pecans will be sticky until they cool.

BOURBON CANDIED PECANS RECIPE

Steps:

• Combine first five ingredients in a medium size bowl, add pecans and stir to coat.
• Transfer pecans to a skillet and cook on medium high heat for 7 to 8 minutes. Stir continuously to prevent burning.
• Remove pecans from skillet and spread evenly on a parchment lined baking sheet.
• While the pecans are hot and gooey sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
• This step is optional, but I think it helps the pecans dry a little bit. Place baking sheet in a preheated oven set on 175°F on the middle rack then turn the oven off. Let the pecans sit in the oven for a hour or so.
• Once the pecans have cooled completely, place in an air tight container.
