Best Nuts
Tiffany Brien Sis-n-law
2 c. pecans
1 egg white
1/4 c. brown sugar
1-2 t cinnamon -just kind of wing it so the cinnamon measurement is just a best guess:
Dash of nutmeg
Dash of salt
In a small bowl, whisk the egg white until loose and somewhat frothy. Add pecans and stir to coat.
Add brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt to pecans, stir to coat.
Spray a medium-size pyrex with nonstick spray. Dump pecans into pan. Microwave for 2 minutes, then stir, making sure to scrape/move all pecans (otherwise they can burn in the next rounds of nuking). Return to microwave for one minute, then stir again. Continue this for approximately 5 minutes total cooking time, adding smaller increments of time as needed to ensure pecans are no longer shiny.
Turn out pecans on a sheet of wax paper, allow to cool completely before storing.
