  • Step 2: Stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, cayenne, nutmeg, and allspice; saute an additional 2 minutes.

  • Step 3: Spoon onto a piece of foil and cool. (Can be done 24 hours in advance and stored it a jar with lid).

  • Step 4: CARROTS: Bring a large pan of water to a boil and add the carrots. Cook 5-7 minutes. The carrots should be tender, yet firm.

  • Step 5: Drain and rinse with cold water until cooled. Pat dry with paper towels.

  • Step 6: Melt the butter. Combine with salt, pepper, cinnamon, cayenne and vinegar. Mix with carrots.

  • Step 7: Spoon into a 9x13-inch casserole. (can be done to here and covered and refrigerated overnight. If so, remove carrots from refrigeration 1 hour before cooking.).

  • Step 8: Sprinkle the spiced pecans over the top and bake in a pre-heated 325F oven 20-25 minutes just to heat through.
