When I go to markets and fairs the main smell is all of the varieties of glazed nuts. I would grab a bag and walk around, finish them, and want more. This inspired me to come home and make my own. They are very easy to make and a great gift for the holidays, I fill mason jars with these and place a pretty ribbon and they are perfect to give to anyone from your mom to the mailman. These can be made anytime of the year and they stay for a long time in an airtight container. I love to see my best friend Jackie's face when she opens the door and I hand her these nuts, she loves them.

4 cups raw pecan halves
1 cup of granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon

5. Place a piece of foil sprayed with cooking spray, on cookie sheet and spread the nuts out evenly
