Serves: 2 cups

INGREDIENTS

• ½ cup brown sugar
• ¼ tsp salt
• 4 tbsp rum
• 2 cups whole pecans
• 

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a medium sauce pan, heat the sugar, salt and 2 tablespoons of rum over medium-high heat until it boils. At this point, stir the mixture until the syrup starts to turn clear and turn the heat down to medium-low so the syrup doesn’t burn.
2. Pour in the pecans. Once the pecans are coated, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of rum. The syrup will thin out at this point. Stir continuously until the syrup returns to a boil.
3. Spoon the pecans onto a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
4. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180°C – 350°F for 15 to 20 minutes until the bubbling stops and the syrup appears hard.
5. 
6. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a baking sheet.
7. Break apart and store in an air tight container or glass jar.
