Preparation

Step 1

Cover the pecans with boiling water and allow to stand until plumped.

Drain and cover with the bourbon (plus a little more).

Allow the nuts to soak. Meanwhile, in a separate pot boil together the water and sugar until it reaches the softball stage on a candy thermometer (235° to 240°F).

Dump in nuts and bourbon and cook until sugared - stirring frequently.

Let the nuts dry on a sheet pan covered with wax paper for easy clean up.
