My ex-mother-in-law lives in the South and has lots of pecan trees. She sends me bags of shelled pecans every year for Christmas. I found out how they make the roasted pecans at the fair. Even though they use big roasters, these turn out just as great.

Time 1h

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 egg white
1 ½ pounds pecan halves
¾ cup white sugar
¼ cup light brown sugar
1 ¼ teaspoons ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).
  • Beat egg whites until foamy in a large glass or metal mixing bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: the egg whites will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak.
  • Mix the pecan halves into the egg white.
  • Stir the white sugar, brown sugar, and cinnamon together in a bowl; add to the pecan and egg white mixture and stir.
  • Coat the bottom of a jelly roll pan with the softened butter.
  • Spread the pecan mixture in an even layer in the prepared pan.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until crisp, turning occasionally, 45 to 60 minutes.
