Something sweet and spicy that your friends and family would love to receive as gifts!

Ingredients:

4 Cups pecans

6 Tablespoons of butter

1 ½ Teaspoons of cinnamon powder

½ Teaspoon chilli powder

1/8 Cup of honey or to taste

To make:

• Pre-heat the oven to 180deg.
• Place the pecans in a shallow roasting pan.
• Gently heat the butter in a small pan.
• Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the spices and honey.
• Once this mixture is combined, pour it over the pecans and stir well until all the pecans are coated with the sauce.
• Place the pecans in the pre-heated oven.  Total cooking time will be about 20 minutes, but you want to stir them about every 5-7 minutes.
• When they are done they will have darkened slightly and smell temptingly delicious!
• Let the nuts cool.  You can either place them in cello bags to be given as gifts, or use them as party appetizers for your next holiday get together.

Nuts can be spiced in so many different ways!Sweet or savoury, buttery or dry.
