Slow Cooker Sugared Pecans

These are great during fall--especially Thanksgiving--and make a great snack to have around.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 c powdered sugar
• 1/4 tsp ground cloves

Turn on slow cooker to high and preheat 15 min.  When hot, stir together nuts & butter.  Add sugar and stir to coat pecans. Cook on high 15 min.  Reduce to low and remove lid. Cook uncovered stirring occasionally 2-3 hrs.  Transfer nuts to bowl.  In small bowl, combine spices.  Sift spices over nuts, stirring to coat.  Cool nuts before serving.
