FESTIVE PEPPERED PECANS

    Festive Peppered Pecans

    1/4 cup granulated sugar
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
    1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper
    1 cup pecans or walnut halves

    Have ready a large baking sheet. In a small bowl combine sugar, salt and black and red peppers. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add pecans; cook and stir until hot, about 1 minute.

    Reduce heat to medium; sprinkle pecans with half of the reserved sugar and pepper mixture; cook and stir until sugar melts, about 30 seconds. Add remaining sugar and pepper mixture; cook and stir until sugar melts and coats nuts, about 40 seconds. Place nuts on baking sheet; cool slightly and separate.

    Store in a tightly covered container.

    Yields 1 heaping cup.
