Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 teaspoons grated orange peel
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon (I prefer Vietnamese cinnamon)
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 cups pecan halves
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Preheat oven to 300F. Melt butter in heavy medium saucepan over low heat. Add orange peel, cinnamon, coriander, cloves and cayenne pepper. Stir until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add pecans, then sugar and salt and stir to coat evenly. Transfer nut mixture to baking sheet. Bake until nuts are toasted, stirring occasionally; about 20 minutes. Cool. May be prepared 3 days in advance. Store airtight!
