Rockin' Celery Boats

• 12 celery stalks, peeled
• 1/2 cup pecans
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 tablespoon melted butter
• Pinch cayenne pepper
• Pinch sea salt
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 2 red jalapenos, seeded

1. Cut the celery into 4-inch-long pieces, then slice off a thin edge at the rounded part of the stalk to help them lie flat while stuffing.
2. Place them in a bowl of ice water and refrigerate until ready to stuff.
3. In a bowl, toss the pecans with the honey, butter, cayenne and salt, making sure the nuts are well coated.
4. Spread on a baking sheet, bake until nuts are toasted, about 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
6. Chop pecans coarsely in a food processor.
7. Add the cream cheese and process until smooth.
8. Remove celery from the refrigerator, drain and dry well.
9. Scrape cream cheese/nut mixture out of the food processor into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip.
10. Fill each celery boat with a generous amount of the mixture.
11. Cut the jalapenos into thick strips, and then cut each strip in half at an angle.
12. This should look like a sail.
13. Garnish each of your celery boats with its red jalapeno sail.
