Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lay nuts on baking tray. Bake for 10 minutes or so until they are fragrant. Taste one and if still bitter, put back in oven for a minute or so. Hand squeeze orange juice and strain out and seeds and pith. Place juice, sugar, and zest in large saucepan and bring to boiling on med high heat. Turn to low heat and add the bourbon. Cover with lid and cook for additional two to three minutes on low. Remove lid and bring to boil again. Keep stirring and use candy thermometer to measure temperature. When it hits 305 degrees, remove from heat immediately and stir in pecans. When nuts cling to each other, spread the out on wax paper to cool. Since they will harden, make sure to separate them out as much as you can while they are hot.
