Spiced Pecans

[w_r_ranch]

​

3/4 cup of sugar
3/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground cloves
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 egg white
2 1/2 TB water
2 lbs. pecans​

Preheat oven to 275 degrees.

In a large bowl, combine the sugar, salt, spices, egg white & water. Mix well.

Add the pecans & stir by hand until thoroughly coated.

Spread evenly on a lightly greased cookie sheet (I use parchment paper) & bake at 275 degrees for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes or so.

Let cool & enjoy!!!


Note: I normally divide this recipe in 2 'batches'. I bake half of the pecans as above & while they're in the oven, I then 'kick up' the second half by adding 2 TB of honey & 1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper before baking. After this batch is baked & cooled, I mix the 2 batches together. Yields about 8 1/2 cups.

No hot peppers in that one. I could handle the pecans.

Okay, no peppers before the "kick".

Thanks for posting this! I am shelling pecans (when I am not painting walls and this sounds good! I make butter roasted pecans in an iron skillet like my great grandmother used to do. Will have to try this!
