Preparation

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250 degrees (F).

Beat the water, vanilla and egg white in a large bowl until foamy. Stir in the pecans.

In a separate bowl combine the sugar, ground cinnamon and salt. Gradually add the sugar mixture to the pecans making sure every nut is coated.

Pour the pecans into a 9″ x 13″ pan and roast for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Let the pecans cool and store them in an airtight container. (Not that you will be storing them very long because they’re addicting!)
