Brooke Cooks - Cinnamon Sugar Pecans

These nuts should also be called "Bet you can't eat just one" - J and I ate the ENTIRE batch of these nuts in one day (they're pretty dangerous...).  But oh my goodness are these delicious.  They are just like the nuts that they sell at the Sugarloaf craft fair each year for $5-6 for a little cone - plus they are so much easier to make than I ever expected.  Let me know if you try these - I think they would make excellent gifts and they would also be great to set out when family or friends come over (again, granted you can resist eating them all!).  Hope you enjoy!

Ingredients

1 egg white

1/2 Tb water

2 tsp vanilla

1 Lb pecans

1 cup white sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

Directions

Preheat oven to 250 degrees.  With a mixer, beat egg whites, water, and vanilla until foamy.  Add sugar and cinnamon.  With the mixer on the lowest setting (or by hand to keep pecans whole), still pecans into sugar and egg mixture.

Spread pecans onto a greased cookie sheet.  Bake for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes.  Enjoy fresh out of the oven or after pecans have cooled.
