Candied Pecans

these pics from last week of my little christmas elf were begging to be posted. 

i adore candied nuts.  they're crazy addicting and so easy to make.  i think i say that every time i bake something.  if it wasn't i wouldn't make it.  i can promise you that  :)



1 egg white
1 tablespoon of water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pound pecan halves
3/4 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon of salt

Preheat your oven to 250 degrees (F)
Beat the water, vanilla and egg white in a large bowl until foamy.
Stir in the pecans.
In a separate bowl combine the sugar, ground cinnamon and salt.
Gradually add the sugar mixture to the pecans making sure every nut is coated.
Pour the pecans into a cookie sheet and bake  for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Let the pecans cool and store them in an airtight container.
