Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1/2 c Dark brn. sugar; firmly pkd.
1/2 ts -Salt
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon
1/4 ts Ground allspice
1/8 ts Ground nutmeg
1/8 ts Ground cloves
1 1/2 tb -Water
1 1/2 c Pecan halves; walnut halves;
Cashews or a combination

1. In a deep, 2-quart, heat-resistant, non-metallic casserole,
combine first 7 ingredients (I use a 2 quart Pyrex mixing bowl).
2. Heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 1 1/2 minutes; stir
occasionally.
3. Add 1/2 cup nuts at a time to syrup mixture. Stir until well
coated. With a slotted spoon lift out nuts; drain extra syrup. Place
nuts in a shallow, 1 1/2-quart, heat-resistant, non-metalic baking
dish (I use Corning Ware). Repeat with remaining nuts.
4. Heat coated nuts, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 5 minutes or until
syrup begins to harden slightly.
5. Transfer nuts to wax paper and allow to cool and harden.
This is a family favorite and so easy to make. I always use pecans.
For years I have filled some type of small container and given for
gifts.
