Candied Pecans

 

I made these candied pecans to add to salads. They

are excellent on a salad of mixed greens, fresh fruit

(strawberries, mandrian oranges, pears), goat cheese

and pt's sweet poppyseed dressing or a raspberry

vinaigrette. They are also wonderful for snacking.

 

Candied Pecans

 

1/4 cup sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Pinch cayenne

2 tablespoons butter

1 1/2 cups pecan halves

 

In small bowl, mix together sugar, salt, cinnamon,

ginger, pepper and cayenne.

 

In medium skillet, combine butter and sugar mixture.

Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until

sugar has melted. Once sugar has melted, add the

pecans and stir until the nuts are coated. Pour onto

a sheet of aluminum foil and let cool completely.
