1 1/2 cups whole pecans

3 Tbsp sugar

2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

Boiling Water

 

Place pecans in a colander.  In a saucepan bring water to a boil.  Once at a boil pour boiling water over pecans and drain.  Transfer pecans to a microwave safe dish.  Evenly sprinkle sugar, cinnamon, and salt over pecans and stir until all pecans are evenly coated.  Place dish in microwave and cook on high for 2 minutes.  Remove dish and stir pecans.  Microwave the pecans for another 2 minutes and remove and stir.  Then place the dish in the microwave again for 1 minute and remove to stir.  You want to make sure the pecans aren't browning too much.  If they are browning too much then do not place them in the microwave the last minute.  If they aren't brown place in the microwave again for another 1 minute.  Pour the pecans out on parchment paper and let cool.  Once cooled they should be crunchy.  If they aren't you can always place in a oven preheated to 350 for a couple additional minutes.
