Caramelized Pecans (Stovetop Recipe) (2024)

▤ Summary

What’s not to love when we’re talking about warm, toasty pecans enrobed in a luscious brown sugar glaze? For the longest time, I bought caramelized pecans in containers at my local market’s gourmet cheese counter. In all honesty, the terms are pretty much used interchangeably, but to me, they separate two different types of sweet pecan preparations. Just melt together brown sugar and a little water in a skillet on the stove until bubbly, toss in your pecans, and stir until toasty and caramelized. I like to mix up a few batches at a time during the holiday season so I have them on hand for various uses: sweet or cinnamon for desserts, salted or spicy for appetizers and snacks.
