Paleo Candied Hot Roasted Pecan Bits

"This is something I made up one day when I had extra bacon fat and pecans in the kitchen. They keep for up to a week but didn't last the day in my house! Adjust salt and cayenne to taste. Serve on top of a chopped salad."

This recipe has a really great combination of flavors. I think they blend well together. I like my half pecans, so I ignored the direction to smash them up. I ended up taking them out at 45 minu...

I have made this a couple of times now. It only takes a few minutes to mix up the ingredients. I leave the pecans hall instead of chopping them up. This is very tasty.
