Salted Pecans Recipe

This is my mother-in-law's recipe for salted pecans. I'm posting it here because, well, why not?
It's very simple, and I suppose you could use whatever nut you have in your neck of the woods instead of pecans.

  • One pound pecan halves
  • One stick ( 1/2 cup ) Land O Lakes salted butter
  • Small amount of salt
  • Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Cut up butter and put it on a cookie pan (approximately 12x16). Melt the butter in the oven while it is preheating.  Stir nuts in pan until completely covered in butter. Lightly salt.  Cut off oven and put nuts in and leave until the oven is completely cooled.  More salt can be added when the nuts are taken out.  If the nuts are too salty or have too much butter, shake them in a paper bag to remove the excess.
