Spiced Pecans

















The pecans melt in your mouth, easy to prepare and make a great gift.

Ingredients:

  • 3 1/2 cups pecan halves
  • 1 large egg white
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon cloves
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:

Preheat oven to 300-degrees.

In a large bowl beat the egg white and 2 tablespoon water until frothy. Toss the pecan halves into the mixture until coated.

Combine the remaining ingredients and add to the pecans; coating evenly.

Line a 13x9-inch baking pan with a lightly greased piece of parchment paper.  Add the coated pecans spreading into a single layer.

Bake for 15 minutes. Stir pecans and return to a single layer and bake an additional 15 minutes.

Remove from oven and cool completely. The pecans will harden once cooled. 

Break up the hardened pecans and store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator or freezer.
