Sweet and Spicy Pecans image

This recipe was given to me years ago by a good friend. They are so quick to make and while there are similar recipes out there, the vinegar gives it a special tang that makes them unique and has everyone begging for the recipe.

These pecans are the perfect balance of sweet and spicy! I love the combination of the brown sugar and cayenne pepper. They're also really easy to make, which is a bonus.
