Ingredients
  

  • 1 egg white
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups raw shelled pecans

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven and prepare a baking sheet.
    Preheat your oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or tin foil and set it aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the egg white until it is light and foamy. A drop or two or water helps break the egg white, so it is easier to whisk.

  • While the pecans are still warm, I like to sprinkle them with a little bit of salt to highlight the sweet candied flavors. This is optional but recommended. Let the pecans cool to room temperature before packaging.n.
