Great! Thanks for the review, Dottie!
Quality content is the crucial to attract the users to visit the web site, that’s what this web page is providing.
I used to be a restaurant manager and we used to make these in massive batches! We used them on salads mostly, but we also used them on our mashed sweet potatoes and in our wraps. So yummy! The only thing we did different is to add just a pinch of cayenne. It was a ”just barely there, can’t quite put my finger on it” something that made them a popular topping. I’ve also used white pepper for a subtle difference. Both are massive hits with everyone who has tried them. I make them ALL the time – and at every holiday. I always know to bring copies of the recipe also…
That sounds amazing!!!
When do you put in the cinnamon?
In the saucepan with the other ingredients before melting everything down. 🙂
Am I missing something? I can’t seem to find the recipe for these pecans?
