You know what's good? Spiced
Candied Pecans! The first time I had these...a friend (Hi Denise!!) and I
were in Charleston, SC at the public market. They sell all kinds of
things there....T-shirts, SC trinkets, those VERY cool sweet grass
baskets (that are so incredibly expensive that I can't afford one) and
food items. As we were strolling through the market, Denise saw the
pecans and on a whim...bought a bag. Well...let me tell you...we should
have purchased TWO bags...one for each of us. When we got back to our
rental car, we opened the little cone shaped bag and practically inhaled
them! They were SO good! After we got home, I went on the hunt for a
way to make them in my kitchen. When I came across this recipe, I knew I
had a winner! Maybe not quite as good as what we had in
Charleston, but a very close second. I've used these in salads...given
little bags of them as gifts....used them in recipes...or just for
munching!! They are delicious!
Candied Spiced Pecans
1 pound pecan halves
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon water
1 egg white
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Mix sugar, salt and cinnamon together and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and water together until foamy.
Dump the pecans in the egg white mixture and STIR to coat.
Pour sugar mixture over pecans and stir until all pecans are coated.
Place on a parchment paper lined (or greased) rimmed cookie sheet.
Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Allow to cool then break into pieces.
The ingredients....
Stir the sugar, salt and cinnamon together...
Whip the egg white and water until foamy.
Dump the pecans into the egg white
mixture. Stir to coat.....then....
..sprinkle the sugar/cinnamon mixture
over the pecans and stir to coat again.
Spread the coated nuts onto a cookie
sheet and bake. Don't forget to stir
every 15 minutes. That's 3 times total
during the 45 minute baking time.
Mmmm....now to decide
what to do with them.
Not a hard decision, if you ask me.
