After dinner, I made some glazed pecans to take to my family this week for the holidays.

Really simple. Just equal parts of butter, brown sugar and good maple syrup, cooked low in a saucepan until incorporated, and then stir in the pecans. When fully coated, spread them on baking sheets with wire racks and bake in the oven at 350F for 15-20 minutes. All the baking does is harden the glaze, which dries when it is cooled.

This batch, I used 2.5 pounds of pecan halves, and 1/2 cup of brown sugar, butter and maple syrup. But, as long as you use eaual parts for the glaze, you can make as much or as little as you want.

You could easily use walnuts or almonds instead of pecans. Not sure about other nuts.

I do similar but add salt too - so a salty sweet taste. Sometimes chilli powder too.

Enjoyed this, very tasty. It was more tangy than spicy as I think the green chili I used lacked a little punch. Should have used the tip I've read before. Always take a bite of the chili you are about to use to gauge it's strength before using it. That way you can adjust the amount to use.

I have dusted them very lightly with cayenne pepper, but these are for my dad, and I didn't know if he would like the sweet/heat version.
