INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 3 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon rum extract
  • 3 cups pecan halves

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a heavy saucepan, combine the sugars, water, honey and cinnamon. Bring to a boil over medium heat; do not stir. Cook over medium heat until a candy thermometer reads 240 degrees F (soft-ball stage). Remove from the heat; add extracts. Cool to lukewarm without stirring.
  2. Beat with a mixer for 2-3 minutes or until creamy. Stir in pecans until coated. Turn onto waxed paper (mixture will be sticky); separate large clumps. Cool for several hours or until dry and sugary. Store in an airtight container.
