1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, to taste
4 cups pecan halves
Makes 4 cups
preheat the oven to 300°F.
Melt butter with brown sugar and maple syrup in a medium saucepan. Remove from heat and stir in salt and spices. Pour over pecans, toss them well, and lay out on a cookie sheet that has been covered with parchment paper. Bake for 30 to 45 minutes depending on how crispy you like them. Stir once during baking. Remove from oven and allow pecans to cool on the cookie sheet. Store pecans in an airtight container.
