Butter Rum Sweet Spiced Pecans ~ from Sumptuous Spoonfuls #spiced #nuts #recipe

Butter Rum Vanilla Spiced Pecans

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 cups of nuts 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups raw pecan halves

For the sweet spiced sugar mix:

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 Tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves

For the butter rum vanilla glaze:

  • 1 Tablespoon golden rum
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla
  • 1 Tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Spread the pecans on a rimmed baking sheet and set in the oven to toast for about 8 minutes, stirring about halfway through to make sure none of them get TOO dark.
  2. While the pecans are toasting, mix up all the ingredients for the sweet spiced sugar mix in a medium bowl.
  3. When the pecans are done toasting, remove them from the oven and set aside.
  4. Heat a medium saucepan over medium heat and add the butter rum glaze ingredients. Whisk constantly once the butter melts until the mixture starts to boil. Add the pecans and stir with a spoon or spatula until the liquid is gone and all the glaze is stuck to the pecans.
  5. Add the pecans to the sugar mix in the bowl and stir to cover all the pecans. Spread the pecans out on the baking sheet to cool.
