Candied Pecan Tips and Questions:
These pecans are gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan.
Why are my candied pecans sticky? If the pecans turn out sticky, this means the sugar never reached a high enough temperature to have that hard crack “brittle” coating on the outside. Electric stoves tend to have less heat power and responsiveness as compared to gas stoves, so cook for a few minutes longer if you have an electric stove or a weaker gas stove. Just watch and smell to ensure it doesn’t burn.
How to store candied pecans: Once completely cooled, in an airtight container at room temperature for a week. You can get away with two weeks or longer, but the flavor won’t be as good. They taste best fresh.
Can candied pecans be frozen? Yes, let them cool completely, then store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
Do they need to be refrigerated? No, but they will last for 4 weeks if you do want to extend the shelf life.
