Sweet Candied Pecans

Yesterday I was definitely in my game in the kitchen. Maybe besides getting all the dishes done but who likes to do dishes when you have no dishwasher??

First off I made these amazing candied pecans. The inspiration for these coming from when my Aunt and I would candy almonds, this is just a different nut and slightly if different recipe. I decided I would put them in my banana bread muffins I made, recipe to come next!

So here's what I started with:

And don't forget, 4 cups of pecans!

You'll need:

1/2 C. White sugar

1/2 C. Brown sugar, packed

1 Tbs. Ground cinnamon

1 tsp. salt

1 egg white, whisked

4 cups pecans, unsalted

First off make sure your oven is preheated to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. 

In a medium bowl, stir together the sugars, salt and cinnamon until evenly combined

In a separate bowl, preferably with a lid, combine the pecans and egg white, shake until pecans are coated

Spread this mixture out on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, then take them out an stir 'em up, and put them back in for another 20 minutes.

The sweet aroma will fill your home! I like to eat these by themselves or put them in whatever cookie or bread I'm making
