This is a very unique combination.The taste is very good.If you combine No. 3 ingredients, cover and chill for an hour, the flavor intensifies.It is a good recipe to make in the morning and serve at night. Good served with cold sliced ham or turkey. I did not have pecans so I used slivered almonds.I will definitely make again.
