Instructions: 1. Preheat the oven to 350 F.

2. Place the pecans in an even layer on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 10-15 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice.

3. Let the nuts cool and chop coarsely.

How to Prepare the Sauce:
1. Combine water and sugar in a medium, heavy-bottomed saucepan and cook over high heat, without stirring, until the syrup turns a rich, amber color.

2. Reduce the heat to low, and slowly stir in the cream (be careful- the mixture will bubble and splatter).

3. Continue cooking on low until the caramel chunks dissolve. Remove from heat and stir in the pecans. Spoon over vanilla ice cream.
