TUESDAY'S TREAT

In the Fall all thoughts turn to pumpkins. Today's treat is a snack with a pumpkin twist.I ran across it in the current issue of SIMPLE AND DELICIOUS. I thought it would be a great "t.v. treat" or something to have on hand for guests at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Enjoy!

CANDIED PUMPKIN SPICE PECANS
1/4 c. butter, cubed
1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. pumpkin pie spice
1 tsp. vanilla extract
2 c. pecan halves

Melt butter in a large heavy skillet. Add sugar; cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Reduce heat; cook until dark reddish brown, about 15-20 min, stirring occasionally.
Stir in pumpkin pie spice and vanilla; add pecans. Cook and stir 3-5 min. longer or until pecans are toasted. Spread onto foil to cool.
