Five Spice Pecans

 

Yes, the crockery cooker will toast nuts. For holiday gifts, toast these

nuts now and freeze them in 1- to 2-cup batches.

 

1 pound pecan halves (4 cups)

1/4 cup margarine or butter, melted

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 teaspoon five-spice powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper

1. Place pecans in a 3-1/2- to 4-quart crockery cooker. In a bowl combine

the melted margarine or butter, soy sauce, five-spice powder, garlic powder,

ginger, and red pepper. Pour over nuts. Stir to coat nuts.

2. Cover; cook on low-heat setting for 2 hours. Uncover and stir. Turn to

high-heat setting. Cover and continue cooking on high-heat setting for 15 to

30 minutes. Cool. Makes about 4 cups (1/4 cup per serving).
