Additional Time 10 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 4 to 4 1/2 cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb raw pecans halves
  • 1 egg white whip until frothy
  • 1/2 cup raw honey
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 250°F.
  2. Line cookie sheet with tinfoil to avoid sticky cleanup.
  3. In a large bowl add egg white, whip until frothy. Add pecans and stir to coat. Add honey and stir to coat.
  4. In a small bowl, mix together sugar and cinnamon.
  5. Add sugar mixture to nut mixture. Stir until coated. Mixture will look pasty.
  6. Pour coated nuts onto prepared cookie sheet. Spread nuts into a single layer.
  7. Bake at 250°F for 60-75 minutes STIRRING every 10-15 minutes to avoid burning.
  8. Nuts are ready when sugar crystals have melted, glaze has become shiny and translucent and nuts have a rich, nutty flavor.
  9. When done, remove from oven. As soon as you can handle the nuts (and before the sugar hardens) move nuts to a new tray lined with parchment paper. This will help avoid nuts from cooling and sticking to the tinfoil.
  10. Let nuts fully cool and harden before eating.

Notes

  • To make a harder shelled "candied" pecan, cook for an additional 15-30 minutes. Watch carefully and stir frequently to avoid burning.
  • Glazed nuts will be slightly tacky. This is normal.
