1 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2 In a medium skillet over medium heat, stir together the brown sugar, water, cinnamon, and salt. Cook until the sugar dissolves and bubbles, about 1 minute. Add the pecans and cook, stirring, until coated, another 1 to 2 minutes.
3 Spread the pecans in a single layer on the baking sheet and set aside to cool and crisp up.
4 Stored in an airtight container at room temperature, candied pecans keep well for up to a week. Freeze them for longer storage.
