Step by Step Method

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

To make the spice mix, place the spices in a small bowl and mix to combine.

Step 3

To make the glaze, place the glaze ingredients in a medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.

Step 4

Add the pecans to the saucepan and cook until they are well coated and the pan is almost dry, about 1 minute.

Step 5

Spoon the spice mix over the nuts, 1 tablespoon at a time, until they are well coated.

Step 6

Transfer the pecans to the prepared sheet, separate with your hands or a fork, and let sit until completely dried, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
