Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup bourbon
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/8-1/4 tsp cayenne
  • 2 cups raw pecan halves
  • 1 tbsp orange

Directions:

  1. Combine bourbon and dried cherries. Set aside to soak at room temperature for 30 minutes.
  2. Combine brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cayenne. Stir until well-combined.
  3. Toast pecans in large non-stick skillet over medium heat until browned and just beginning to smell toasted, 3-4 minutes. Stir and shake frequently to prevent burning. Add butter to pan. Stir and toss until completely melted and pecans are thoroughly coated.
  4. Add sugar and spice mixture; stir and toss until pecans are evenly coated. Turn off heat and add cherry/bourbon mixture. Stir, off-heat, 1-2 minutes, until everything is well combined.
  5. Return pan to medium heat; stir constantly until liquid thickens and pecans are thoroughly glazed and shiny, 1-2 minutes. Spread mixture in one layer onto parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet, separating nuts so they don't stick together. Allow to cool completely. Sprinkle nuts with orange zest. Transfer to a bowl and serve.
