For the past 3 years Kate and I have gone to the craft show in November. We don't ever buy a lot, we just enjoy going for the delicious food stuffs and the homemade soap. She also has an obsession with these glass snowmen earrings that she desperately wants to buy but never does.

This past year we wandered over to this one booth that was selling a variety of roasted nuts. We bought a small container of the roasted pecans and we almost ate all of them right away. They were warm and delicious and we almost ate our entire containers at the show (because we are classy ladies). I figured that the recipe had to be super simple... and it is! These taste just as good as the ones I bought at the show. They are the best when they are warm (as with most things!). Here's the recipe! (PS - I realize that the picture doesn't look as appetizing... but trust me, they are good).

Old Fashioned Roasted Pecans
Ingredients

1 egg white
1 tbsp water
2 1/4 cups pecan halves
1/2 cup white sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 225 degrees F. Lightly grease a rimmed baking pan.

2. Combine the egg white and water in a mixing bowl; beat until fluffy. Fold in the pecans to coat evenly. Combine the sugar, salt, and ground cinnamon in a shaker or cup with a lid. Dust the pecans evenly with the sugar mixture. Spread the nuts over the prepared pan.

3. Bake in preheated oven until toasted and fragrant, stirring every 15 minutes, about 1 hour. Cool on pan, and store in an airtight container.
