Ingredients
- ¼ cups White Sugar
- ¼ cups Brown Sugar
- ½ teaspoons Salt
- 4 Tablespoons Dark Rum
- 3 cups Whole Pecans
Preparation Instructions
Preheat oven to 350° F.
Mix together and heat sugars, salt and 2 tablespoons of rum over medium-low heat until it boils, stirring continuously. You can use a double boiler for this. Continue to heat while stirring for approximately 7 minutes until syrup begins to appear clear and non-granular. Pour in pecans, stir until coated with sugar. Carefully add 2 additional tablespoons of rum. Stir continuously until syrup returns to a boil. Spoon pecans onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake in a 350° F oven for 12 to 15 minutes until bubbling stops and syrup starts to appear hard. Remove from oven and allow to sit on the baking sheet until completely cooled. Break apart and store in a cool, dry place.
