Pie Spiced Candied Pecans Recipe

Ingredients

4 T Butter, Unsalted

4 T Honey

2 1/2 teaspoons Course Kosher Salt, Morton’s (different brands have different coarseness)

4 Cup Pecan Halves

2 teaspoons Cinnamon powder

2 teaspoons Ginger, ground

1 teaspoons Nutmeg, ground

1 teaspoons Allspice, ground

1/2 teaspoons Cloves, ground

1/2 teaspoon Mace, ground

Preparation

Preheat oven to 250°F. Line large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Mix spices in a heavy medium saucepan (2 Qt) to blend. Add the butter and melt stirring often over medium heat. When the spices become aromatic, add the honey and stir until well blend (about 1 minute). Add pecan halves and stir to coat; remove from heat.
