Recipe: Spiced Pecans

Spiced Pecans:
Spiced Pecans:
They taste like itty-bitty pecan pies. Make them for parties and to
give away as holiday gifts. And they're absolutely terrific sprinkled on
ice cream.
1 egg white
1 Tbs water
3 cups pecan halves (the original recipe calls for *Texas* pecans).
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground cloves
some salt (1/2 tsp?)
butter
Mix egg white and water in large bowl. Add pecans and stir until pecans
are well coated with egg goo. In small bowl, mix sugar and spices (and
salt). Add sugar/spices to pecans and stir until pecans are well coated.
*Generously* butter a cookie sheet (one with edges works best). And I do
mean generously; really slather it on! Spread pecans on the cookie sheet.
Bake in 300deg F oven for 30-40 minutes, stirring once or twice during that
time.
