Extra! Spiced Pecans

Spiced Pecans

These are to die for! I first had them at a Christmas party - a perfect recipe for the holidays! However, after making them several times, I think they're great year round. Thanks to KB for sharing her recipe! You know who you are... =)

Spiced Pecans

4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

Combine above ingredients in a saucepan. Heat until sugar has dissolved - just takes a few minutes. Remove from heat, then add:

3 tablespoons Worcestershire
Dash Tabasco

In a medium bowl, pour sauce over 4-5 cups of pecan halves and coat thoroughly. Place on a prepared baking sheet (Silpat is great) in a single layer before placing in a 300 degree oven for 20-25 minutes. TIP: stir occasionally - every 5 to 7 minutes. Also, be sure to stir them every few minutes as they cool to prevent them from sticking together. Yeah, this recipe's a but high maintenance, but soooooo worth it!

Cool completely before storing in an airtight container or Ziploc.

Yummo!
