Makes 4 cups
Time: 15 minutes
- 2½ cups whole raw pecans
- 3½ tablespoons vodka
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 1¾ teaspoons salt
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, use your hands to mix together the pecans, vodka, sugar and salt, massaging the sugar and salt into the nuts.
Spread evenly onto the baking sheet and bake for 6 minutes. Use a heat-proof spatula to stir the nuts on the baking sheet. Bake for another 4 to 6 minutes, until deep brown in colour.
Let nuts cool on the tray. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
