Cinnamon Sugared Pecans (recipe with photos)

These guys are good and if purchased in a pecan store, really expensive. However they are easy to make. Here is how we do it.

Need: 1 pound pecans (whole ones are nice, but pieces work). Also need Sugar, Vanilla, cinnamon, salt, egg white, water, Pam.



Use 1 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.



Mix these together.





Separate egg white



combine egg white, 1 Tablespoon water, 1 teaspoon vanilla and whip until frothy. The cinnamon you see in the bowl is a small (spill) mistake.





Add pecans to egg mixture and mix until all pecans are fully coated.



Add wet pecans to the sugar mixture and stir to fully coat the wet pecans with the sugar mixture.





The coated pecans will be spread on an oiled or buttered sheet pan







The pan is placed on the center rack of a 250 degree preheated oven for 1 hour, stirred every 15 minutes. Taste at the end of an hour and if the pecans are not dry and the sugar coating set, leave for an additional 15 minutes.



Remove when pecans are dry and sugar coating has solidified.



Stir to break apart any pecans sticking together and allow to cool.



enjoy

and Merry Christmas! God bless all of you.
