Orange Glazed Candied Pecans

Ingredients:

1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tablespoon orange juice concentrate
3 ½ tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon sea salt (or kosher salt)
3 cups pecan halves

Method:
Preheat oven to 300*.
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar, orange concentrate, water, vanilla, and salt, stirring to combine. (It is okay if all of the sugar and salt don’t dissolve.) Set this aside.
In a dutch oven or large frying pan, over medium heat, toasting pecans for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. When you begin to smell a nutty aroma, they’re done toasting. Drizzle the sugar mixture over the pecans, stirring the nuts as you drizzle. Stir constantly for about 20 seconds, until the pecans are thoroughly coated. Immediately remove from heat.
Spread the pecans on a parchment lined baking sheet. Bake in a 300* oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. Cool completely. Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Makes about 3 cups

Note: Great for snacks, on salads, or on ice cream and other desserts.
