Okay, since we were on the topic of nuts earlier and there was a request for the delicous candied pecan recipe I got from my mother-in-law, here goes.
I warn you: make these at your own risk. These go counter to the earlier post - I can speak from first-hand experience in saying that these are not a healthy part of any weight loss plan due to their extremely addictive nature!
They are wonderful to give as holiday gifts too. I usually make a double batch and give some away or save them in a ziploc to eat later.
Elaine's Frosted Pecans
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg white
1 tablespoon water
1 lb. raw pecan halves
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Combine cinamon, sugar, and salt. Set aside.
Beat egg white until frothy. Add water and beat again. Pour over nuts in large bowl and mix with your hands to get all nuts coated. Then pour the sugar mixture over the nuts and mix it all again to coat evenly.
Pour nuts out onto an ungreased nonstick baking pan.
Bake 15 minutes, remove from oven and turn/stir nuts around, and replace in oven for an additional 30 minutes. Remove if they appear to be burning.
Upon removal from oven use a spatula to loosen the nuts from the tray, but leave on the tray to cool. You can also put them onto non-stick foil right away because sometimes they can get stuck to the baking dish, even if it is non-stick.
Enjoy and let me know what you think! Feel free to post additional nut recipes!
