Tools

• Wax paper
• Large pot
• Wooden spoon for mixing

Ingredients

• 4-5 cups pecans, halved
• 1/2 cup orange juice
• 1 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• Zest from 1 orange

Instructions

• Lay a large area of wax paper out on your counter.
• Cook sugar, orange juice, and orange zest in a large pot over medium heat until sugar is fully dissolved.
• Fill a glass with cold water and drop a small amount of the mixture into the glass. It will clump together and readily form a ball in your fingers. This is how you tell if it is the correct temperature. If it does not clump, cook a little longer.
• Remove from heat.
• Add pecans to mixture and gently mix and fold until the the mixture cools and the pecans start looking cloudy. This could take up to ten minutes.
• Pour and separate pecans onto the wax paper on your counter.
• Wait until they are dry before placing into a container for storage. This will only take about ten more minutes.

Enjoy!
