Spiced nuts (pecans)
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. These nuts are perfect for baking, or they can be eaten as candies. Pecans are specified in this recipe, but almonds or regular walnuts can be prepared the same way. You can store the finished nuts in a glass jar for several months—just be sure to seal it tightly with a lid. A spice mix is listed in the recipe; use only ¾ teaspoon and keep the rest separately. The finished dessert can be served at the table.
