Spiced Pecans
When I was first married, my precious sister-in-law gave me a recipe for spiced pecans. I made that recipe for years but somewhere over time I stopped making them & misplaced the recipe. Recently, I remembered those yummy things & wanted some to top a salad. After hours of searching for the recipe, I decided I would just have to re-create them.
These pecans are really easy to make & are a great salad topping or eat them with some organic dried raisins for a twist on trail mix.
