I love to add these pecans to salads of all kinds. Of course, they are pretty great just as they are! Feel free to adjust the seasoning to suit your individual taste. Also, walnuts and mixed nuts are really good fixed this way.

2 cups (change servings and units)

Ingredients

1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 cups pecan halves

Preheat oven to 350°F.

3
In a small, heavy saucepan, combine first 4 ingredients.

Over medium heat, stir until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil.

Boil 2 minutes.
6

I used these to top a salad and they were a huge hit. They're just like the restaurant nuts in gourmet salads. I got comments too from people saying they could just eat a whole bowl of nuts on their own! Perfect as is, no changes to the recipe needed. Thanks!

This recipe is not only delicious but so easy to make. I made them to give as hostess gifts during the holiday season. I know they will be asking for the recipe.

Easy recipe for relaly good glazed nuts! I omitted the cayenne (for the kids' sake) and was still really tasty. Thanks for a great, simple recipe.
