Frosted Pecans

Frosted Pecans

These are simple, addictive (you've been warned), add a sweet crunch to any salad, and they make great gifts (and people may beg for them - I did, and that's how I got this recipe from some ladies from my church in Colorado). 

Here's a link to the Northwestern Salad that these go so well on

Frosted Pecans

2 egg white

2 c. sugar

2 tsp. cold water

2 tsp. salt

1 Tablespoon cinnamon

2 lb. pecans

Beat water and egg white until fluffy.

Mix pecans in and toss to coat.

In a separate bowl combine sugar, cinnamon and salt. Add to pecan mixture. Toss until pecans are coated. Spread on baking sheet and bake at 225* for 1 hour moving occasionally.

Cool prior to using in salad.

These may be stored in the freezer as well for future use.
