I’m getting into the Christmas spirit this week since we finally got our Christmas tree up and decorated. I love the smell of the fresh pine and having lights to look at always puts me in a better mood. So I am getting into the holiday spirit in the kitchen as well which is what inspired me to make this recipe.
If there is one food constantly requested by my family and friends during the holidays it is these sweet and spicy pecans. I can never make enough and they are gone before I can even get them put away. The spiciness that follows the sweetness provides a kick that keeps you going back for more. These really are the perfect snack for around the holidays and make a great appetizer for cocktail hour.
I was originally inspired to make these spiced pecans after I tried some that one of my good friend’s mother made years ago. This is the best replication I have found of the recipe and it is a keeper. I guarantee if you make these people will be begging you for more!
