BURNIN' BEAK GLAZED PECANS

Glazed nuts - you'll find all kinds of recipes for glazed nuts especially during the holidays. They're a great snack not only during the holidays but all year around.

Plus, you can add them to salads for an extra nutty crunch, to your rice or pasta dishes for some texture and roasty flavor or as a topping to ice cream or frozen yogurt.

When you start with a food such as pecans, walnuts or peanuts, it's not difficult to imagine any of the Burnin' Beak Pepper Jellies turning those nuts into sweet/salty treats. Your main decision is which nut and which pepper jelly!

Health Benefits of pecans specifically: pecans contain more than 19 vitamins and minerals including vitamins A, B, and E, folic acid, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, and zinc. Just one ounce of pecans provides 10 percent of the daily recommended intake of fiber. Pecans are also rich in age defying antioxidants.
