Preparation Method

Preheat the oven on Convection Mode set to 350°F with a rack on position “1.”
On a pan lined with a Silpat®, spread the pecans into a single layer.
Once the oven is preheated, place the pan into the oven on rack position “1” and set the timer for 15 minutes. Cook the pecans for 7 minutes. Remove the pecans from the oven.
In a medium bowl, mix the brown sugar, bourbon, water, salt, and pepper until well combined. Toss the hot pecans with the mixture, return them to the pan, spreading them into a single layer.
Place the pan back into the oven on rack position “1.” Cook the pecans for 8 minutes, stirring halfway through. Remove the pecans from the oven.
In a clean, medium bowl, toss the candied pecans until slightly cooled. Pour the pecans onto a piece of parchment paper or onto a clean baking tray. Cool completely before serving.
