Spiced Orange Pecans image

This is a wonderful and very easy recipe for the holidays! I found it in Taste of Home Magazine. If you decide to prepare a double batch, please make sure you spread in only a single layer on the baking sheet. It is important that these pecans dry as they bake to become crispy. I hope you enjoy this recipe. I think it is a real treat!
