Baya’s Spicy Holiday Pecans

Baya’s Spicy Holiday Pecans

These spicy, crunchy Pecans bring back the fondest memories of the Holidays with my husband’s Grandmother, Baya. She used to make these delicious Pecan treats during Thanksgiving and Christmas for guests to snack on. I make sure to always have a batch or two baking in the oven during the Holidays to fill the house with warm, spicy fragrances. These Pecans also make the perfect Gifts! I hope you, your friends and family enjoy them as much as we do 🙂

  • 4 Cups Pecan Halves
  • 10 Dashes Tabasco/Hot Sauce (Add more if you REALLY like some heat)
  • 1/3 Cup Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Salted Butter, Melted
  • Salt (Sprinkle as little or as much as you desire)
  1. Gather the ingredients.
  2. Preheat oven to 270 degrees.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the Tabasco, Worcestershire Sauce and melted Butter. Mix well.
  4. Next, add the pecans to the Tabasco mix and toss gently with a rubber spatula to thoroughly coat the pecans.
  5. Dump the pecans on a cookie sheet and spread them out evenly. Sprinkle with salt (as much or as little as you desire).
  6. Bake in the center of the oven for 15 minutes.
  7. Remove from oven, stir, salt and return to oven for another 15 minutes or until lightly crispy.
  8. Cool on a paper towel for 10-12 hours (I usually do this in the evening, so I can let them cool/crisp overnight).
  9. If you’re giving these as gifts, pack in a plastic gift bag or tightly sealed container.
  10. Or place them in pretty bowls throughout your house for friends and family to munch 🙂
