7. For extra flavor, leave all the bits in the skillet, then add the butter, sugar, and orange juice to begin creating the sauce.

11. Place sauce on stove top and bring to a boil to thicken.
12. Preheat dry pan and roast pecans for about 3-4 minutes - moving and shaking them often to avoid burning.
