Candied Pecans

Courtesy of Maggie Goode

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp salt

1 cup sugar

1 egg white

1 Tbs water

1-16 oz bag pecans

Make an egg wash with the egg and water. Coat pecans in the egg wash mixture. In separate bowl combine dry ingredients and stir in pecans. Place as 1 layer on a cookie sheet. Bake at 250 degrees for 20 minutes. Turn over pecans. Bake for another 30 minutes on 300 degrees. Make sure you have something non-stick under them because the will be concrete if you are not careful. I prefer to use non-stick foil. They come right up. Enjoy!
