Roasted Pecans


2 T butter
1/2 c. honey
sugar in the raw
pecans

On the stove bring the butter, and honey to a rolling boil (stirring frequently so it doesnt burn.) on a cookie sheet (preferable one with a rim on it) place your pecans (I normally use about a whole bag for this... enough to fill up the cookie sheet with minimal space between nuts.) on the cookie sheet and cook at 225 Degrees for about 10-15 minutes. (Check at 10 minutes, you want them to have that "I've been  baked taste." When the pecans are done in the oven pour the whole batch of nuts INTO the pot on the stove with the warm butter and honey (make sure you turn the heat off) and stir until fully coated. On your cookie sheet sprinkle some raw sugar. Spread the nuts/honey/butter mixture back onto the cookie sheet and coat with more raw sugar. You want there to be enough nuts to honey ratio that they are coated but not TOO coated with the honey. Sugar to taste.
