MAPLE PEPPER PECANS
I cannot, just cannot, allow myself to have even one of these as I'm setting them out or I know there will be none left for the party. They're best eaten still a little warm (though be careful that they're not hot or everyone will have a burnt mouth) though still very good cold and, as with the olives, make a good present, bunged into a jar and tied with a ribbon or somesuch.

Yield Makes 6 servings
Number Of Ingredients 6
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Stir together honey, pepper, salt, and allspice and add pecans, tossing to coat well. Spread pecans in 1 layer in a shallow (1-inch-deep) baking pan and sprinkle with sugar. Bake in middle of oven 15 minutes, then stir pecans and bake 5 minutes more. Transfer to a sheet of wax or parchment paper to cool and, working quickly, separate pecans with a fork while still warm. Serve at room temperature.
Tips:
- Use fresh pecans: Fresh pecans have a sweeter flavor and a more tender texture than stale pecans. Look for pecans that are plump and free of blemishes.
- Toast the pecans: Toasting the pecans brings out their flavor and makes them more crunchy. You can toast pecans in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10-15 minutes, or in a skillet over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently.
- Use a good quality salt: Use a sea salt or kosher salt for the best flavor. Avoid using table salt, as it can be too salty and harsh.
- Use freshly ground pepper: Freshly ground pepper has a more intense flavor than pre-ground pepper. If you don't have a pepper grinder, you can use a mortar and pestle to grind the peppercorns.
- Don't overcook the pecans: Overcooked pecans will be tough and chewy. Cook the pecans just until they are golden brown and fragrant.
