Ingredients:

• 3 TBL Earth Balance® spread
• 4 cups pecan halves
• 1 cup Swerve™
• 2 tsp cinnamon
• ½ tsp cumin
• ½ tsp cayenne

Pecans may be substituted with cashews, almonds or a medley of your favorite nuts for your event, holiday table or anytime indulgence.

Preparation Directions:

In the 3–quart kettle or pot, set temperature to medium heat. Melt Earth Balance® spread. Add all the ingredients, except pecans.

Mix well and stir constantly over medium heat (approximately 350°), until mixture becomes smooth. Add pecans, cook for approximately 5 minutes. The Swerve™ will create a glazed finish on the pecans as it cooks.

To test for doneness, remove one pecan, let cool for a minute and cut in half. Pecan should be crunchy. On a large cutting board, pour pecans and spread out on board evenly, yet quickly, as they will harden fast! Let cool.

Loosen nuts and chop coarsely with knife by hand. Do not put in food processor, as it grinds nuts too small. *Be careful when handling the cooked pecans because the coating gets extremely hot while cooking.

Yields: 4 cups
