Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 350°.

2. Combine brown sugar, 1 teaspoon thyme, salt, cinnamon, and red pepper in a small bowl.

3. Combine pecans and almonds on a jelly-roll pan. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until the nuts begin to brown. Combine the pecan mixture and butter in a medium bowl, stirring until butter melts.
