Sugar & Spice Pecans
¼ cup butter
3cups pecan halves
½ cup sugar
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

** waxed paper needed for this recipe
In 10-inch skillet melt butter; stir in pecans and ½ cup sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar melts and pecans brown, 8-12 minutes. Meanwhile, in a large bowl combine all remaining ingredients. Stir in caramelized pecans. Spread on wax paper; cool completely. Break clusters into individual pecans. Store tightly in covered container. Makes 3 cups

Now personally I never have to worry about storing mine for long,

Duckie,

these are so goooood, and so easy to make I am sure they will make prefect gifts.

hardest part for me when I do them is picking out the pecans. But if you buy pecans boy they'd go fast.
And bet you were glad you spread that wax paper out first

hi Linda

first time I made these I just jumped in and I'm standing there with a hot pan and no where to dump them.

So from now on if I see wax paper listed in a recipe I tear off a piece first before I start mixing and making
