Recipe Card – Spiced Nuts

One thing we in The South have an abundance of is nuts. We’re either raised by them, related to them, or we like them in pies. As a little pre-Thanksgiving Day warm-up, try these spiced nuts. You know, just to make sure that oven still works…
Ingredients

• 1 egg white
• 1 Tbsp. water
• 1 pound pecan halves or pieces
• 1 C. sugar
• 3/4 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

Directions

1.      Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Grease one baking sheet.

2.      In a mixing bowl, beat together the egg white and water until frothy. In a separate bowl, mix together salt, sugar and cinnamon.

3.      Add pecans to egg white mixture; stir to coat the nuts evenly. Remove the nuts, and toss them in the sugar mixture until coated. Spread the nuts out on the prepared baking sheet.

4.      Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

Cheers!
