cinnamon pecans

Cinnamon Pecans

1/4 cup evaporated milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
2 tablespoons water
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups pecan halves

Combine all ingredients except pecans, dissolve sugar over medium heat. Add pecans and continue to cook, stirring frequently. Cook until pecans are completely sugared with no syrup left in pot. Spread out on wax paper and let cool. If any stick together, break them apart before they cool completely.
