I must have a sweet tooth right now, I am saving the wrong recipes right now. You know during the holidays when you are shopping for christmas gifts at the mall and you smell the wonderful sugared pecans and you just HAVE to get some because of course it will put you even more in the christmas spirit? Ahhh. Maybe i will be super domestic and make these for friends or neighbors during the holidays next year?

INGREDIENTS

• 1 egg white
• 1 tablespoon water
• 1 pound pecan halves
• 1 cup white sugar
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Grease one baking sheet.
2. In a mixing bowl, whip together the egg white and water until frothy. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
