Rum-Glazed Spiced Georgia Pecans

Ingredients

• Spice Mix
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• Rum Glaze
  • 2 tablespoons dark rum
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
  • 2 cups lightly toasted Georgia pecan halves

Directions

Spice Mix

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

To make the spice mix, place the spices in a small bowl and mix to combine.
Make the Rum Glaze (below).

Add the pecans to the saucepan and cook until they are well coated and the pan is almost dry, about 1 minute. Spoon the spice mix over the nuts, 1 tablespoon at a time, until they are well coated.

Transfer the pecans to the prepared sheet, separate with your hands or a fork, and let sit until completely dried, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.

To make the glaze, place the glaze ingredients in a medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
