"This is a recipe I came up with trying to replicate treats from a local pecan farm. You can vary the strength of flavor by how long you soak the pecans. So far I've tried Jack Daniel's and rum, but the possiblilies are endless. Think flavored rums!"

Drain, reserving liquid.

Add more liquor to equal 1 cup and return to pan, along with pecans.
