Recipe - Hot Hot Hot-Hot Nuts

3 cup Pecans; 1/2'd
3 tablespoon Honey
2 tablespoon Butter
2 tablespoon FINELY minced habs *
1 cup Sugar

OPTIONAL TINGLERS
One fourth teaspoon (a pinch) cloves; ground
One fourth teaspoon (a pinch) cinnamon; ground

* note: I use semidry deseeded habs this makes it easier to minced and
they adhere better so lets see, this is about 3 or 4 habs? hard to say

(said with a island accent)

Toast Pecans in a 350 degree oven for 58 min. Mean while melt butter, 2
Tbls of sugar and honey together in a pan. Remove from oven add the nuts to
butter and honey mix. Stir to coat. Add habs and/or optional spices. Again,
stir to coat. Add about one quarter of the sugar, while tossing it with a
fork (it should be enough to coat the nuts and make the habs hang onto the
nuts). Place on waxed paper to cool. As they cool toss on another One fourth cup
of sugar after cool add remaining sugar. Let it cool (right! I always taste
test! while warm..mmmm)

It is a feely sorta thing.. sometimes sugar coats it well, temp is what
makes it all work.. too cold and too hot no good work rapidly, prep your
wax papered glass pan 9"x18"

Oh yeah, the fork.. you'll love the fork!
