Ingredients

1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar

1/2 cup butter

1/4 cup honey

1/4 cup Tennessee whiskey

1/2 cup chopped pecans

1 pound frozen bread dough, thawed

1 tablespoon melted butter

1/3 cup packed brown sugar

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon ground allspice

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  1. Butter a 13 by 9-inch baking pan. Combine sugar, butter, and honey in small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring to melt sugar well. Add whiskey. Boil for 1 minute stirring continuously. Remove from heat and stir in pecans. Pour in baking pan.
  2. Roll dough into a 12 by 16-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter. Combine sugar and spices in small bowl. Sprinkle over dough. Roll dough from long side, pressing to seal edges.

I have been making these for years and we love them. Never used alcohol when baking before; wow really added a wonderful element. This year I am using a briche dough. Great for the holidays.
