Ingredients

12 celery stalks, peeled
1/2 cup pecans
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon melted butter
Pinch cayenne pepper
Pinch sea salt
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 red jalapenos, seeded

Directions

Cut the celery into 4-inch-long pieces, then slice off a thin edge at the rounded part of the stalk to help them lie flat while stuffing. Place them in a bowl of ice water and refrigerate until ready to stuff.

In a bowl, toss the pecans with the honey, butter, cayenne and salt, making sure the nuts are well coated. Spread on a baking sheet, bake until nuts are toasted, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.

Chop pecans coarsely in a food processor. Add the cream cheese and process until smooth. Remove celery from the refrigerator, drain and dry well. Scrape cream cheese/nut mixture out of the food processor into a pastry bag fitted with a large star tip. Fill each celery boat with a generous amount of the mixture.

Cut the jalapenos into thick strips, and then cut each strip in half at an angle. This should look like a sail. Garnish each of your celery boats with its red jalapeno sail.

Oven temp
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

When this was rebroadcast I noticed they mentioned the oven temp was 400 degrees for those who were wondering. Not sure why... it isn't in recipe. These aren't anything amazing but better than just using peanut butter or cream cheese and pineapple chunks like I've seen so many times at other parties. Give them a try, definitely healthier and less fattening than a lot of other appetizers you could make for a party!Read more

Tastey
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Very good, don't think I blend the next time just mix until combined good, because I like a bit more texture plus the color... was a bit off to my liking. Also I think a bit more of the pepper next time. I liked it on the celery but I tried it on crackers as well and find I like that better.Read more

Big hit
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I didn't make the "boats" but I did make the dip adding a little more cayenne when I was blending the pecans with the cream... cheese. I served it to be spread on smaller pieces of celery and Wheat Thins. Everyone loved the flavor.Read more

Where is the oven temp?
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I didn't want to try this, because it didn't say what to set the oven on.
