Directions:
Have ready a large baking sheet. In a small bowl combine sugar, salt and black and red peppers. Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add pecans; stir until hot, about 1 minute.

Reduce heat to low; sprinkle pecans with half of the reserved sugar and pepper mixture; stir until sugar melts, about 30 seconds. Add remaining sugar and pepper mixture; stir until sugar melts and coats nuts, about 40 seconds. Place nuts on foil-lined baking sheet; cool slightly and separate.

Be careful to monitor the heat. Don't let the skillet get too hot or it will smoke.

Store in a tightly covered container.

Yields 1 heaping cup.
