So easy to pull together and other than the pecans, I always have the ingredients on hand. Nuts crip as the cool.

Ginger Scented Pecans

from www.marthastewart.com

Makes 5 cups

Ingredients

5 cups pecan halves

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons salt

1 teaspoon ground ginger

2 tablespoons honey

2 teaspoons canola oil

Directions

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Place nuts in a single layer on two rimmed baking sheets. Toast until nuts are fragrant, 10 to 15 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through cooking. Meanwhile, combine sugar, salt, and ginger in a small bowl, and set aside.

Combine honey, 2 tablespoons water, and oil in a large saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium, and add roasted pecans. Cook, stirring once or twice, until all of the liquid has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer mixture to a bowl, add sugar mixture, and toss until well combined.

Spread nuts in a single layer on a sheet of parchment paper to cool.

These pecans may be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 week.

 
Brought these nuts into work today...after trying them, co-worker said, "I need a private moment!"

He's been swooning up and down pod land ever since. LOL!
