We like them ok, but rarely have them.  My favorite nuts are pecan and
cashews, in that order.  I usually will pick the pecans out of a batch
of mixed nuts first, then the cashews.  I find that the almonds are
good, but their flavor is strong  enough to over power the first two
nuts.

Below in the first recipe is a way to really make the pecans extra good.
The second recipe is new to me.  I found it while searching for the
first one.  I note that they do not tell you when to use the orange
zest, but I'd suppose to cook it with all the rest of the items before
you stir in the roasted pecans.

Also, microwave for 20 minutes in the first recipe sound excessive.
