Hot Habanero Pepper Sauced Pecans
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- 2 Tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Chile Habanero Hot Sauce Or Substitute Tabasco Or Any Other Hot Sauce If Habanero Is Unavailable Where You Live.
- 2 cups Pecan Halves
- 1 whole Serrano Or Thai Green Chili, For Garnish (optional)
- Note about increasing the recipe: The amounts given above will make about 2 cups. You may increase the amount of nuts to as much as 4 cups, and there is no need to increase the amounts of the other ingredients for a larger amount of nuts.
- You will also need:
- 1. A small saucepan.
- 2. A mixing bowl large enough to hold the pecans while mixing them with the butter and spices.
- 3. A baking sheet with a raised rim large enough to hold the nuts in one layer.
- Making the nuts:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 325u0b0F.
- 2. Melt the butter in a small saucepan. Remove it from the heat and stir in all the rest of the spices and seasonings.
- 3. Place the pecans in a bowl, add the butter mixture and stir to coat the pecans well with it.
- 4. Spread the nuts out on the baking sheet in a single layer and bake them for about 20 minutes, or until they are golden and crisped. Serve them hot from the oven, decorated with the chili, if desired. And, although excellent served this way, as an addition to a picnic, they aren't bad at all either!
