Honeyed Pecans - A Guest Post by MiMi

     I came up with these to go with Steve's birthday Punkin' Slab Pie.  When grandma told me that he wanted a pumpkin pie I couldn't believe my ears.  Is this the same guy we helped crack pecans so he would make us a wonderful fresh pecan pie?  Ok, then grandma. I'll make him that pumpkin pie but we must top it with pecans.  I was going to make spiced pecans, but decided that I didn't want to take away from the spice combo in the pie.  Pecans, salt and honey sounded perfect.  I guess it tasted perfect too.  At least a couple of people said so.

Honeyed Pecans

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups pecan halves

1 tsp vegetable or canola oil

1/3 tsp. fine sea salt

1/2 cup honey

1. Preheat oven to 350 F.  
2. Stir together the pecans, oil and salt.  Spread on a rimmed baking sheet.  Bake for 7 minutes. 
3. Bring the honey to a boil over medium heat in a medium saucepan.  
4. Add the baked pecans to the boiling honey and stir to coat for a minute or two.
5. Let cool slightly, then spread on a piece of parchment paper (or wax paper) to cool and dry.  Make sure to do this while they are still warm otherwise they will stick together.  Allow to cool completely.
