DIRECTIONS

Combine sugar, water, vanilla extract and salt in a sauté pan. Bring to a boil.

Add pecans and toss into syrup. Cook a few minutes and until most of the syrup is evaporated. Remove from heat. Stir pecans until a white grainy coating develops on their surface.

Turn heat back on to medium and toss pecans until white coating caramelizes and they sound “dry”.

Sprinkle with cinnamon and remove from heat. Let pecans cool on parchment paper.
