Candied Pecans

Today I decided to make Broccoli Salad for dinner. I love candied pecans in it and want to share my recipe with you! I hope that there will still be some pecans left to put in the salad. They keep jumping into my mouth! :-D

Candied Pecans

2 egg whites

2 teaspoons water

1 teaspoon vanilla

1 pound pecan halves

1 cup white sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

Preheat oven to 250° F (120° C). Grease one baking sheet or line with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, whip together the egg whites, water and vanilla until frothy. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar and salt.

Add pecans to egg whites, stir to coat the nuts evenly. Remove the nuts, and toss them in the sugar mixture until coated. Spread the nuts out on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake at 250° F (120° C) for 1 hour. Stir every 15 minutes.
