Spiced Pecans Recipe

Serve these tasty spiced pecans at any party, or have them on hand for a weekend game day gathering. These addictive sweetened nuts are spiced with a little cinnamon. Butter a baking sheet or jelly roll pan or line with regular or nonstick foil and lightly butter the foil.

Prep Time: 8 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Total Time: 33 minutes

Ingredients:

1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon salt
16 ounces pecan halves
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
dash cloves

Instructions:

Heat oven to 325°. Butter a large baking sheet or line with foil and butter the foil.

Beat egg white with the water and salt until they look foamy -- until they have a mass of tiny clear bubbles. Add the pecan halves to the egg white mixture, coating well.

In another bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Add the egg white coated pecans to the sugar mixture and stir until all pieces are well coated.

Spread the pecans on the prepared baking sheet and bake at 325° for 25 to 30 minutes, or until lightly browned and toasted. Stir every 7 to 10 minutes.

Makes about 4 cups.
