Candied Pecans

December 2, 2010 by at 8:13 pm 4 Comments • Filed Under: Appetizers, Dessert, Recipes

Ingredients:
1 egg white
1 tablespoon vanilla
4 tablespoons water
1 cup granulated sugar
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

  • Mix egg white, vanilla and water until frothy.
  • In a separate bowl combine your sugar, cinnamon and salt.
  • Combine the two bowls.
  • Throw a pound of pecans in, coat well.
  • Spread ‘em on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
  • Bake at 250 for 1 hour, stirring ‘em up every 15 minutes.

My Mom says to let them cool, but we ate them straight out of the oven and they were delicious :)
sidenote: my brother who “hates pecans, dude” loved these and can’t stop eating them…

We used these on our gorgonzola pear toasts.
