    Recipe Introduction


    Origins Unknown

    List of Ingredients




    1 egg white
    1 tsp. vanilla extract
    3 c. whole almonds or pecan halves
    1/4 c. sugar
    1/4 c. brown sugar
    1/2 tsp. salt
    1 tsp. cinnamon

    Recipe



    Here is a recipe I have tried only recently. I have used this recipe with almonds and pecans and both turned out well. These are a tasty treat and would be nice to give at Christmas time. I found plastic bags to put them in at the craft store. They should store well because in the past I bought similar roasted nuts that kept for months.

    The cinnamon taste in these is pretty light. I will try increasing the amount of cinnamon the next time I make them. If you want a strong cinnamon flavor, go ahead and add at least 1/2 a tsp. more.

    In a large bowl whisk the egg white and vanilla until frothy, about 2 minutes. Stir in the nuts. Mix the remaining ingredients and add to the nuts. Stir to coat. Spread the nuts in a sprayed jelly roll pan. Bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour 15 minutes. Stir after the first half hour and again half an hour later. Nuts should be dry. Stir and bake a little longer if they are still sticky. Cool in the pan then transfer to a container.
