Tamera Reinhardt left a bag of these amazing pecans at The Canadian Record office. One bite and I was hooked, and texted her for the recipe. They are light and praline-flavored without being super sweet. She shared this super easy recipe found in Brenda Gantt’s cookbook and demonstrated on her “Cooking with Brenda Gantt” Facebook page. I watched the video of this sassy southern cook in her own kitchen, wearing a “Roll Tide” apron, and was charmed. Enjoy!

This recipe from my “All Recipes” cookbook has been hiding right in front of me for years but for whatever reason I hadn’t tried it until a few weeks ago. That was a big mistake. Try it and you’ll see what I mean. It’s absolutely delicious.
