Sherried Pecans

---

This is an old family recipe. My great aunt owned a liquor store and she always made these at christmas time. Every year now, since i started making them, all my friends and co-workers always request these for the holidays. They are sooo good! Important: you must use the creamed sherry in the recipe or they will not turn out! believe me, i have tried and the others turn out sticky. Also, it is best to make on a dry, cool/cold day!!
