   ROASTED PECAN FUDGE
   
   Preheat oven to 450° F.
   Soak 2-1/2 cups pecan halves in water to cover 20 minutes; drain well. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons salt evenly over the bottom of a 15- x 10-inch jellyroll pan. Arrange pecans in a single layer in pan; sprinkle evenly with 2 more tablespoons salt. Place pecans in hot oven, and turn off oven. Let stand in oven 1 hour and 30 minutes. Toss pecans in a strainer to remove excess salt. Coarsely chop pecans, and cool.
