Quick Candied Pecans

I tried this component in a salad from a restaurant and I really liked it. This version is not quite as good as theirs but it's close. The crunchy sweetness with the tangy-ness of goat cheese is great on a salad.

Pecans can be stored at room temp in an air tight container for about 2 weeks. If making ahead for an event, I would do 1 to 2 days before actually serving.


Ingredients:

2 cups pecan halves
4 tablespoons butter, salted
4 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tsp. salt

Directions:

1. Melt butter over medium-high heat. Add pecans and toss to coat.

2. Add sugar, and stir until caramelized, about 5 minutes.

3. Spread on wax or parchment paper and cool.
