Hot Pepper Pecans

For each cup of large pecan halves, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a shallow pan.

Spread pecans evenly in one layer and bake in a slow oven (300°) for 30 minutes.

Stir several times during the baking.

Mix 2 teaspoons of soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 3 dashes liquid hot pepper.

Pour into toasted nuts, turning them so the seasonings will be evenly distributed.

Spread on double thickness of paper towels to cool.
