[How to make caramel pecans]
1. Bake pecans and pumpkin seeds in an oven at 150 degrees for about 6 minutes. Slightly crush the pecans. If you buy ready-to-eat walnuts and pumpkin seeds, you can skip this step.
2. Put sugar, water and unsalted butter into a pot and heat over low heat. Do not stir to prevent the sugar from turning into sand and causing failure.
3. When the sugar melts, it will slowly boil, big bubbles will appear and start to turn caramel color. Note that the temperature is about 115 degrees Celsius. It doesn't matter if you don't have a thermometer, as long as you see it starting to turn caramel color.
4. When the syrup turns caramel color, turn off the heat, pour in the light cream and mix well. Then pour in the prepared pecans and pumpkin seeds and mix well. Finally spread it into the tart shell while it's still hot.
