Chili Pecans

I found another addictive recipe from this month’s Midwest Living magazine. So Yummy! Once you’re not so full from Thanksgiving dinner you should make some for yourself.

This is all you need:

2 cups pecan halves

2 tablespoons maple syrup

4 teaspoons vegetable oil

2 tablespoon sugar

2 tablespoons ground Chimayo or other medium-hot chile pepper

In a bowl, combine pecans, syrup, and oil.

Stir in sugar and chile pepper.

Spread in a 13 x 9 x 2 inch baking pan lined with foil.

Bake, uncovered, in 250 degree oven 45 minutes, stirring twice. Spread on piece of foil to cool.

Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 2 weeks or freeze up to 1 month.

Makes 10 (1/4 cup) servings. This would make a great Christmas gift for neighbors.

The next time I make this (probably tomorrow) I will double the recipe (maybe quadruple it).

And you’re welcome for finding you another food to be addicted too.
