3. In a 2 quart jar or container, combine the rum, chopped pecans and orange zest. Stir to moisten. Seal. Place jar in a cool, dark place for 7 to 10 days, or until it smells and tastes strongly of pecans. Strain without pressing on solids into a clean jar or bottle. Discard solids. Add the Brown Simple Syrup and mix well. Seal. Will keep in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
