Spiced Pecans - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 c. granulated sugar
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. vanilla
1/4 tsp. salt (optional)
1/4 c. water
2 c. pecans

Preparation

Combine all ingredient except nuts in a saucepan.
Boil about 3 minutes until it becomes a syrup-like consistency.
Remove from heat and add nuts immediately.
Stir until nuts are all coated and no liquid remains.
Empty onto waxed paper.
Break apart any nuts that are sticking together.
Let cool on waxed paper (you have to work fast after nuts are added to hot syrup).
After nuts have cooled, package into decorative tins and give as gifts or store for your own use.
(Makes great Christmas gifts.)
