Spiced Pecans

Spiced Pecans

These pecans make an excellent addition to a charcuterie board or salad, but are also a highly-addictive stand alone snack!

1 c. pecan halves

2 T. sugar

1 T. butter

1 T. Simply Orange

1/4 t. cinnamon

1/4 t. cayenne

Combine ingredients in skillet and cook over medium heat until sugar dissolves.  Spread nuts in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with greased foil.  Bake at 200 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.  

While hot, transfer pecans to a colander.  Sprinkle generously with salt and shake or stir to ensure all nuts are well-salted.  Stir every 2-5 minutes until nuts are cooled to prevent sticking.
