Notes
- Notes:
- Other spices that taste good in this recipe include cloves and nutmeg.
- For some extra sweetness, you can add ½ tablespoon of molasses or honey to this recipe.
- It is important to stir the pecans every 15 minutes so they don’t stick to the parchment paper.
- If you really like things spicy, add a little more cayenne to the mix. The recipe as written gives the nuts a nice little kick.
