GINGER SUGAR PECANS
from Leigh Ann Seller Robb
Ingredients:
5 cups pecan halves
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp kosher salt
1 tsp ground ginger
2 T honey
2 tsp olive oil
Toast pecans in single layer on rimmed cookie sheet at 325 for 10-15 minutes. Shake once during baking. Combine sugar, salt, ginger in small bowl and set aside. Mix honey, 2 T water and oil in saute pan; bring to boil over high heat. Reduce to medium, add pecans and cook for a few minutes until liquid has evaporated. Immediately throw into sugar mix and toss well. these are fabulous warm or at room temperature. They taste even better on day 2 when the flavors have had a chance to settle.
