PARTY PECANS

                       
 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!  Thank you so much for reading my recipes and especially  for trying them out with your family.  You’ll never know just how much I appreciate you taking time to do this.  Writing out the recipes that I use with my family and that I remember from my childhood and then sharing them with you has been a true blessing for me!  In the new year I plan on making videos of the most popular posts (and of my personal favorites).  I will also feature guest recipes from some very special people!  May God richly bless you in the new year!  Keep reading and cooking with confidence and joy for your family and friends!

These pecans are great to serve as guests arrive at your home while you put the finishing touches on dinner.  Serve them with apple cranberry cider, posted on December 19th  and maybe some party mix, posted on December  1st.   Feel free to experiment with the flavors of the spices by adding more or less cinnamon and cloves or adding nutmeg or another spice of your choice.
