Spiced Nuts

== Description ==
This is a family favorite and so easy to make. I always use pecans. For years I have filled some type of small container and given for gifts.
== Ingredients ==
* ½ cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
* ½ tsp salt
* ½ tsp ground cinnamon
* ¼ tsp ground allspice
* 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
* 1/8 tsp ground cloves
* 1½ tbsp water
* 1½ cup pecan halves, walnut halves, cashews or a combination
== Directions ==
# In a deep, 2-quart, heat-resistant, non-metallic casserole, combine first 7 ingredients 
# Heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 1½ minutes; stir occasionally.
# Add ½ cup nuts at a time to syrup mixture. Stir until well coated.
# With a slotted spoon lift out nuts; drain extra syrup. 
# Place nuts in a shallow, 1½-quart, heat-resistant, non-metalic baking dish. 
# Repeat with remaining nuts.
# Heat coated nuts, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 5 minutes or until syrup begins to harden slightly.
# Transfer nuts to wax paper and allow to cool and harden.
