Glazed spiced pecans

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 Egg whites
2 tablespoons Cold water
1 cup Large pecan pieces or halves
½ cup Sugar
½ teaspoon Each: ground cinnamon; ground nutmeg
1 pinch Ground allspice; optional

Directions

Preparation time: 15 minutes Cooking time: 45 minutes Yield: 1 cup 1. Heat oven to 250 degrees. With a mixer on high speed, beat egg whites and water until frothy, about 2 minutes. Fold in pecans, gently mixing to coat. Transfer to a strainer and allow excess egg-water mixture to drain off pecans, 2 to 3 minutes.

2. Combine sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and, if desired, allspice in medium bowl. Mix well. Add pecans to sugar-spice mixture; mix to coat pecans.

Spread pecans on a non-stick baking sheet in a thin layer. Bake on lower rack of oven until toasted and crisp, about 45 minutes. Remove from oven; transfer to a cool baking sheet or large bowl to cool. Store in an airtight tin.
