Oh my, this is SOOOOO good. I made as a dessert and gift for a friend for Christmas. It was WONDERFUL on angel food cake with vanilla ice cream :) Thanks for posting alli, made for SWEET TRADITIONS TAG, December 2009!

This was a delicious treat served over ice cream. It was a little thin, but I didn't let it cool long enough before spooning it over the ice cream. After cooling a bit more, it thickened up nicely. I opted to leave the pecans whole instead of chopping them. Made for Every Day is a Holiday.
