Please don't be put off by the unusual combination of spices in this recipe. they work wonderfully well together. Last year I made this and divided it up into canning jars to give as Christmas gifts. a big hit.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
4 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
3/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 egg whites
5 cups pecan halves
Directions:
1. In small bowl, combine sugar with spices.
2. In large bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy; stir in pecans until coated.
3. Sprinkle with sugar mixture, tossing with spoon to coat nuts evenly.
4. Spread on 2 lightly greased baking sheets and bake in a preheated 325F (160C) degree oven, rotating sheets half way through, for 30 minutes or until coating is crisp and nuts are fragrant.
5. Let cool.
