1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups pecans

In saucepan, combine all ingredients (except pecans) and cook until bubbly. When a drop of the mixture forms a soft ball in water, the glaze is ready. Stir in pecans and coat with mix. Spread pecans on wax paper. Separate and cool.
