Sugared Pecans or Almonds

2 cups whole pecans or almonds 

2 Tablespoons butter (not margarine) 

1/4 cup honey 

1 cup turbinado sugar (raw sugar)

Spread pecans in a cookie sheet. Place in a cold oven, turn oven to 350* and roast 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until well roasted.

Over medium high heat in medium saucepan, heat honey and butter to boiling. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add pecans, simmer and stir 2 minutes. 

Transfer pecans to a baking sheet that has been sprayed with Pam, spread in a single layer and cool slightly. Pour sugar over pecans and toss to coat, separating pecans. Let cool and store in bags or airtight containers.
