Pecans Sweet Vanilla Food

SWEET COATED PECANS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly butter a baking sheet.
• In a bowl, beat the egg white until foamy. Mix in cinnamon, sugar, salt, and water. Mix well. Stir in pecan halves, stirring until well coated. Spread on baking sheet.
• Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

SPICED VANILLA PECANS

Steps:

• Note: If you don't have superfine sugar (in Britspeak: caster sugar) then you can whirl regular granulated sugar in the food processor for about 5 minutes.
• You can skip this and just use granulated sugar, but please make sure it dissolves completely before leaving the pecans to sit.
• In a large pot, boil the pecans in the water for 1 minute.
• Drain well.
• While they're still hot, toss them in a large bowl with the sugar, melted butter, corn syrup and vanilla extract.
• Mix well and let the nuts sit, covered, for at least 12 hours, up to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven the 325 degrees F.
• Put the nuts on a cookie sheet (make sure it's rimmed so the nuts don't fall off).
• Bake the nuts for 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes.
• The nuts should brown nicely.
• I know, they are brown already, what I mean is that they should be a little darker, and crisp looking.
• However, they won't actually get crisp until they cool.
• Meanwhile, combine all the spices in a large bowl.
• The minute, the actual instant that the nuts are done, add them to the spices and toss them until they are well covered.
• Pat the nuts back down on the cookie sheet in a single layer, so they can cool without clumping together.
• Cool thoroughly, and store in an airtight container.
