As quickly as October flew by us, I’m sure November will
be the same. And that means Christmas
will be here before we know it! I love
nuts any time of the year, but at Christmas, they become a central part of gift
giving and special wonderful things to eat.
There’s nothing better than sugared pecans (or sugar ANY
type of nut!). I’ll have several recipes
leading up to Christmas, but today’s blog is the first of many and it’s a
recipe that is so great to share with special friends as a extremely nice gift. I hope you’ll enjoy this as much as we do!
SUGARED
PECANS
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
1 pound pecan halves
1 cup white sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Grease one baking sheet.
|
In a mixing bowl, whip together
the egg white and water until frothy. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar,
salt, and cinnamon.
|
Add pecans to egg
whites, 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.
Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour.
Stir every 15 minutes.
