I love spiced nuts; they are yummy in a salad or as an appetizer. These Autumn Pecans have a taste of cinnamon they are perfect by themselves or they would be delicious sprinkled on a bowl of hot oatmeal! I mixed up a batch before we headed out on our road trip and I have to say they were delicious to munch on in the car!
Autumn Pecans
2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground ginger
2 Tbsp water
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp oil
5 cups pecans ( 1 ¼ pounds)
Combine the sugar, pumpkin pie spice, salt and ginger in a bowl. Set aside.
In a Dutch oven bring water, honey and oil to a boil. Add the pecans and cook and stir until all the liquid is evaporated (1-2 minutes). Immediately toss with the sugar mixture.
Transfer to an ungreased baking sheet (15 x 10).
Bake at 325 for 15-30 minutes or until browned, stirring twice.
Cool and store in an airtight container.
