My girlfriend and I had a lovely soup in a restaurant this past week that was garnished with Spiced Pecans. Found this recipe by Emeril Legasse that tastes pretty darn close. It makes way more than one needs for a batch of soup, but if stored in an airtight container will keep for a couple of months. Read more Emeril's recipe was for double this amount and made 2 cups plus I subbed freshly ground nutmeg instead of the cinnamon he called for as I was out of cinnamon. It sure elevates a soup recipe to the next level that's for sure! See less

- Return the nuts to the skillet and toss to combine with the glaze.
- Cook for about 1-2 min. or until the nuts are glazed and golden brown.
- Remove from the heat and transfer to a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, separating with a fork.
- Let rest until cooled and the sugar has hardened, about 10 min.
- Store in an airtight container.

OMG! Incredible! I’ve had spiced/sugar nuts but homemade blows it out! Ideal to add to salads and desserts too! I used walnuts because it’s what I like. I love the lighter coating so you can still appreciate the nuts.
