Microwave Pecan Brittle

I used this recipe last Christmas to make microwave brittle.  No problems such as posted by the reviewer who changed the cook times.  I used the recipe as written and had great results; lots of compliments on the results.  The brittle looked very nice in the newer decorative mason jars, with a little ribbon...

Have you ever heard "if it sounds too good to be true, it is"? Well, I was so excited to find a recipe I could whip out without standing at the stove making my recipe! I followed exactly the directions, and decided I'd use the 5 minutes at the end, and not do the 7 minutes to make sure I err on the side of caution. Well..... I looked around at 4 minutes to peek and it was burnt pecans in a dark mess. So, if you risk making this recipe, and you have a newer'ish microwave, cut the time!! It's a huge waste of fresh pecans. :(.
