Recipe - Chutney Pecans

One fourth cup Butter or margarine
One fourth cup Vegetable oil
One fourth cup Brown sugar
3 tablespoon Curry powder
1 tablespoon Ground ginger
One fourth teaspoon Cayenne pepper
1 One half pound Pecan halves
1/3 cup Chutney; finely chopped
Salt to taste

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat
butter and oil until butter melts.

2. Stir in brown sugar, curry powder, ginger, and cayenne. Add pecans and
stir until well coated.

3. Add chutney to pan and mix well. Salt to taste.

4. Line two baking sheets with paper towels. Spread pecans in pan. Bake
until pecans are toasted, 10 to 15 minutes.

5. Remove pecans from paper towels and let cool. (Do not let pecans cool on
paper towels or they will stick.)

Makes about 7 cups.

Timesaver Tip: Nuts can be made up to a week ahead and stored, covered, in
refrigerator. Nuts can also be frozen up to 2 months.

NOTES : A generous coating of spices gives these pecans a memorable snap.
