Sweet-Hot Pecan Sauce.

Southern Living served this with fried fish. They said that it "delivers a rich & nutty flavor and is a delicious alternative to ketchup or tartar sauce." They also indicated that their kitchen staff swooned after tasting it.

Sweet-Hot Pecan Sauce

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 cup pecan pieces, chopped
1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce

Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, and sauté 3 minutes or until tender. Add garlic, and cook 1 minute. Stir in pecans and next 4 ingredients. Cook, stirring constantly, until sugar is dissolved. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week. Makes 1 cup.
