Candied Pecans-Balsamic

By CheeseDiva

Ingredients

• 2 cups pecan halves
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
• 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 1/2 tsp. flake sea salt

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 325°.
Spread pecan halves on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 10 minutes; set aside. Boil brown sugar, balsamic vinegar, and olive oil in a 12" skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until mixture is foamy and slightly thickened, 2–3 minutes.
Add pecans and cook, stirring constantly, until well coated, about 3 minutes. Spread on prepared baking sheet and sprinkle with sea salt; let cool completely. Break into bite-size pieces before serving.

Every Christmas, I make different candies for my mother's stocking and these were a big hit last Christmas.
