Spiced Pecans

This is my all time spiced pecans recipe. They are crisp, sweet and slightly salty and are absolutely yummy with a cheese platter and grapes. In this photo, I served them in a blue bowl which you can see on the back right side of the image below.

If you price these out in a store, you will soon realize that to make them yourself is the way to go. Why not when the recipe is this easy?

• 1 egg white
• 1 pound pecan halves (or any combo of nuts)
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon cloves

Preheat oven to 225 degrees.

Using a fork beat the egg whites slightly. Pour the egg whites over the nuts and stir to coat making sure that all nuts are wet.

In another bowl, mix together the rest of the ingredients then pour over the nuts and toss well.

Bake nuts on a sprayed baking sheet for 40 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Cool and then store in a tightly covered container. I keep mine in the fridge and they stay crispy for weeks!
