Equipment

1 Large Nonstick Skillet
Parchment Paper

Ingredients

⅓ cup Brown Sugar
2 tablespoon Water
1 ½ tablespoon Pumpkin Pie Spice See Notes (below) for my homemade version.
¼ teaspoon Salt
2 Cups Pecan Halves
1 ½ cup Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
1 cup Roasted Salted Pepitas
1 cup Butterscotch Chips
1 cup Golden Raisins

Instructions

In a large nonstick skillet, whisk together brown sugar, water, pumpkin pie spice, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
(We tend to do this over a campfire, but you can do it over a stove!)
Once it starts to simmer, add the pecan halves and pumpkin seeds, stir well to coat the nuts and seeds.
Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until any liquid is dried up and everything is glazed.
Remove from heat and spread the transfer glazed nuts and pumpkin seeds on a large baking sheet or piece of parchment paper, separating any clusters.
Once fully cool, combine with the Pepitas, Butterscotch Chips, and Raisins.
Transfer to an airtight container for storage, or portion out into smaller containers.
We’ll usually measure ½ cup amounts into snack size Ziplock baggies.

Notes

Store at room temperature - out of direct sunlight - for up to 3 months.

If you don't have pumpkin pie spice on hand, use the following:

1 tablespoon Ground Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Ground Ginger
½ teaspoon Nutmeg
¼ teaspoon Ground Cloves
