This is a great microwave candied nut recipe I stole from my mom. She likes walnuts, and I like pecans. It's really easy. My wife says she needs to leave the house when I make them so she won't eat them all!
Ingredients
- 0.25 cups butter
- 0.5 cups brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons water
- 3 cups pecan halves
Instructions

Melt butter in a 4-quart glass casserole dish in the microwave. Stir in brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and water. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir in pecans until well coated. Microwave for 4 to 5 more minutes on high, stirring every minute. Spread cooked nuts out onto parchment or waxed paper to cool.

Great Grandma Johns' Pasties
This recipe originated in Cornwall England, and was adapted by my Great Grandmother Johns. It was originally made for the coal miners and wrapped in butcher paper. The hard pastry shell would keep the juicy contents fresh until the miners were ready to eat. My Grandma would serve with relishes and Coca Cola. If you want to make these more quickly, you can use refrigerated pie crusts instead of the pastry recipe.
