My parents don't ask for anything for their birthdays and since they are only a day apart and around Thanksgiving, gift buying usually gets overlooked. So the last couple of years I've just added ingredients for a sweet treat to give them to my Thanksgiving shopping list. Last year they got some of the toffee peanuts that you can find here. This year it was sugared pecans and they were a hit. They were fighting over the jar on Thanksgiving morning!
It's an even easier recipe than the toffee peanuts!
What you'll need:
1 egg white
1 Tbsp water
1 lb pecan halves
1 c white sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (I actually added more cinnamon)
What you'll do:
1. Preheat oven to 250. Grease one baking sheet.
2. Mix together egg white and water together until frothy. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
3. Add pecans to egg whites and stir to coat. Then toss pecans in the sugar mixture and stir until coated. Spread out pecans on the greased baking sheet.
4. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
I warn you now that you're house will smell amazing!
This would make a great gift this holiday season, just pour cooled pecans into a pretty little jar that has an air tight seal.
Special thanks to allrecipes.com for this little treat.
Happy baking!
