Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
In a small bowl, stir together the sugar, salt, cinnamon, cayenne, and clove.
Place a large skillet over medium heat. Add the butter followed by the brandy, vanilla, and brown sugar. Bring to a boil, then add the pecan halves and cook until the liquid dries and the pecans are coated, about 4 minutes.
Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture over the pecans. Stir to combine, then continue cooking until the sugar that has collected at the bottom of the pan has melted and coated the pecans, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a cookie sheet to cool, then devour or give to a friend.
