I think that i've already mentioned that my mom and I started making Christmas candy when I was in junior high. It's become a yearly tradition that we really enjoy together. Last year, we added something new: Sugared Pecans, and they were a huge hit! I decided to make some yesterday on our day off of school and wanted to share. Last year we made 2 pounds, but this year I doubled it to 4 so that Johnny could have plenty of what he calls "heaven in a nut". :-)
The recipe is SUPER easy and pretty quick.....
Ingredients:
1 egg white
1lb pecans (4 cups)
1t salt
1t water
1c sugar
1t cinnamon
Directions:
1. Combine egg white and water. Beat until stiff.
2. Add pecans, coating them with the egg mixture.
3. Add sugar, salt, and cinnamon, coating well.
4. Place on cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 25 min. (Stir after 15 min. & move cookie sheet to top rack.)
5. Let cool and enjoy!
Yummy!!! I will probably give these a "go" next week before we head to TN... I think they will like them!
