Instructions

Combine all ingredients except the pecans in a non-stick skillet and stir well over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is bubbly.
Add the pecans and cook, stirring to coat the pecans in the syrup. Allow to reduce, stirring occasionally to ensure the pecans and syrup don't burn, for about 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat, and pour the pecans out on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, spreading them into one layer with a silicone spatula, to let the pecans cool. Once completely cooled down, break apart and keep in a sealed container for up to 2 weeks.
