Time 1h5m

3/4 c sugar
1 egg white
2 1/2 Tbsp water
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

  • 5. Remove to waxed paper while still warm; cool.

Tips:

  • Choose the right nuts: Pecans are the classic choice for this recipe, but you can also use walnuts, almonds, or cashews.
  • Use fresh spices: Ground spices will work in a pinch, but freshly grated nutmeg and cinnamon will give your pecans a more intense flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When roasting the pecans, spread them out in a single layer so that they cook evenly.
  • Watch the pecans closely: They can go from perfectly roasted to burnt in a matter of minutes, so keep an eye on them while they're cooking.
  • Let the pecans cool completely: Before storing or serving the pecans, let them cool completely so that the sugar coating hardens.
