SUGARED NUTS,
SWEET CANDY COATING!
SUGARED NUTS are so yummie. They are like popcorn. You
just can't stop eating them. You just keep popping them in
your mouth, one right after the other.
I have a few very easy recipes for you that you can do in just
a very short time.
SO-ooooo lets see how many I can get on this page.
SUGAR AND SPICE PECANS
2 cups shelled pecans
2 Tbls. butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 Tbls. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/4 tsp. cloves
THIS RECIPE IS CREATED WITH THE MICROWAVE.
In a 4 to 5 quart casserole, place pecans, MICROWAVE 7
MINUTES on HIGH, stirring 2 to 3 times.
While nuts are cooking, combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and
cloves in small bowl. Stir until blended.
To hot pecans add butter. Stir until butter is melted and
pecans are lightly coated. (If necessary, MICROWAVE 10
