...a close fascimile of Trader Joe's Glazed Cinnamon Pecans. Walnuts are a good substitute for the pecans. Cookgirl has been officially banned from all Trader Joe's on the West Coast. I knew it would happen eventually. I am now forced to wear my Groucho Marx glasses to shop at any Trader Joe's.

DIRECTIONS

Preheat a baking sheet in the oven at 350 degrees.
In a bowl combine all the ingredients and toss to coat.
Spread the nuts singly on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the pecans are browned and crispy. Stir nuts occasionally to avoid burning and to roast evenly. *Watch* oven carefully!
Set baking sheet aside to allow nuts to cool completely. Once cooled, transfer to airtight container.
