My ex-mother-in-law lives in the South and has lots of pecan trees. She sends me bags of shelled pecans every year for Christmas. I found out how they make the roasted pecans at the fair. Even though they use big roasters, these turn out just as great. Ingredients:
1 egg white |
1 tablespoon water |
2 1/4 cups pecan halves |
1/2 cup white sugar |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (105 degrees C). Lightly grease a rimmed baking pan.
2. Combine the egg white and water in a mixing bowl; beat until fluffy. Fold in the pecans to coat evenly. Combine the sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon in a shaker or cup with a lid. Dust the pecans evenly with the sugar mixture. Spread the nuts over the prepared pan.
3. Bake in preheated oven until toasted and fragrant, stirring every 15 minutes, about 1 hour. Cool on pan, and store in an airtight container.
