These went on top of my roasted honeynut squash. Make a double batch, because some won't make it to the squash.

Ingredients

• 2 cups pecans
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 3 teaspoons water
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon salt

Steps

1. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper before you start. You won't have time later.
2. In a small saucepan over medium heat, stir together everything except the pecans: the brown sugar, water, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
3. Keep stirring until it comes to a steady boil.
4. Add the pecans and let it boil for 2 minutes, stirring the whole time. Don't walk away.
5. Take it off the heat and spread the pecans on the parchment right away. Pull them apart while they're hot so they don't cool into one big clump.

Great on roasted honeynut squash.
