Spicy Nuts

Butter-check
Pecans-check

A sprinkle of this, a dash of that...

Ginger and Cardamom Spiced Pecans

2 cups pecans
3 TB butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp cardamom
1/2 tsp salt

Over medium heat in a large pan, cook the pecans with the butter for 4-6 minutes. You'll smell the nutty goodness of both the pecans and the natural nuttiness of toasted butter.

Mix the sugar, spice and salt in a small bowl. Sprinkle over the nuts. Toss to coat. Cook for about 2 minutes. Remove and spread the nuts out on a baking sheet to cool.

Enjoy. Store in an airtight container.
