By AndreaO

Ingredients

• 4 egg whites
• 1/2 cup sherry or champagne
• 2 cups sugar
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon ground ginger
• 8 cups pecan halves

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 250 degree f. Spray two (15x10x1- inch) baking pans with nonstick coating spray in a large bowl. Whisk egg whites until beaten and add champagne, sugar and salt. Whisk until blended and add spices and nuts stirring until coated, spread on baking pans, bake at 250 degree for 1 to 1 1/2 hours until coating is absorbed and pecans appear dry, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Remove for pans at once and cool on wax-paper-lined racks separating pecans into a single layer with two forks. Store at room temperature in airtight container
