Spiced Pecans Via my uncle, who visiting from Manhattan, made this simple and delicious recipe. A little kick. A little sweetness. This is a great little snack for the holidays. 1 tsp salt1/2 tsp ground cumin1/2 tsp cayenne pepper1/2 tsp ground cinnamon1/2 tsp dried ground orange peel1 lb pecan halves4 tbs unsalted butter1/4 - 1/3 cup light brown sugar2 tbs water The best way to make this is to sauté in a skillet or pan. Start by warming the nuts and then adding butter followed by the brown sugar. Once coated add the rest of the ingredients. Once everything is warm and coated evenly, spread out on a baking sheet to cool. This goes great on vanilla ice cream or just in a bowl as something to pick on. I can tell you from personal experience that I don’t need anything else. I could pick on these all by themselves. Here’s another idea.. If you have any left over candy canes, crush half of one and mix it in with the brown sugar. Enjoy!
