Southern Cinnamon Sugared Pecans Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
• Beat egg white in a large bowl with an electric mixer until frothy. Add pecans to egg white and stir until evenly coated.
• Mix sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a separate bowl; add to pecans and stir until coated. Spread coated pecans onto a baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until fragrant and crisp, about 25 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Grease one baking sheet.
• In a mixing bowl, whip together the egg white and water until frothy. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
• Add pecans to egg whites, stir to coat the nuts evenly. Remove the nuts, and toss them in the sugar mixture until coated. Spread the nuts out on the prepared baking sheet.

Steps:

• In a large sauce pan over medium heat, combine evaporated milk, sugar, water and vanilla.
• Heat mixture, stirring often, until sugar is dissolved.
• Add cinnamon and stir. Some may float on top.
• Add 3 cups of pecans to mixture and stir to cover.
• Continue stirring pecans in mixture until pecans become coated well and mixture cooks away (gets absorbed/crystalized on the the pecans).
• Spread hot coated pecans on wax paper; try to separate them as you spread them on the paper.
• Let pecans cool completely.
• Break apart pecans and store in air-tight container for up to 2 weeks.
• To give as gifts, put in decorative glass jars or decorative tins lined with wax paper.
• NOTE: I've tried using brown sugar (1:1 with the white sugar), but the pecans have a tendency to come out sticky and the sugars don't get 'crystalized'. I have not tried these with turbinado or unbleached cane sugar yet. If they don't turn out right, I'll have to keep them for myself !

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the sugar, cinnamon and salt; set aside. In a large bowl, lightly beat egg white. Add pecans; stir until coated. Sprinkle with sugar mixture; mix well. , Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 300° for 20 minutes. Remove nuts from baking sheet to cool on waxed paper.
