SPICED NUTS

2 egg whites
1/4 c. cold water
1 c. sugar
1/2 c. cornstarch
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 lb. assorted nutmeats (pecans, walnuts, etc.)

Combine egg whites with water; beat lightly. Sift
sugar, salt, cornstarch and spices together; stir. Add nuts, mixing well. Spread on bottom of large shallow baking pan.

Bake at 250 degrees for 1 1/2 hours, turning nuts every 10 to 15 minutes to insure even crispness. Cool thoroughly before storing in sealed containers. Nice for Christmas nibbles; these Spiced Nuts also make a nifty gift from your kitchen.
