My son, Justin, daughter, Shawna and my brother, Bob, are all chili heads. They like EVERYTHING hot, hot, HOT! I am not kidding. I've seen Shawna put hot sauce on popcorn. And she wouldn't think of eating mashed potatoes without cayenne in them and more hot sauce poured over the top. So, with that thought in mind, and the fact that I just happened to have some tequila....LOL....here are some South of the Border spiced pecans!
4 C Pecan halves
Tequila Glaze
6 T Tequila (I don't need to tell you to not use crappy tequila, right?)
3 T Unsalted butter
1 T Brown Sugar
Spice Mix
3 T Sugar
1 T Kosher Salt
1 t Cinnamon
3/4 t Ground Cumin
3/4 t Ground Coriander
3/4 t Cayenne (less of you're a bit timid...more if you're a freak like some of my family members!)
3/4 t Garlic Powder
Follow instructions below for Rum Spiced Pecans.
My husband likes things hot, too, superhot. His scrambled eggs have to have sliced jalapenos or habaneros in them and he's just discovered a place that sells habanero powder at the Marin Farmers' Market - heaven for him.
