Be careful at the end of the glaze/simmering process as the glaze thickens very quickly at the end and could easily burn. Very easy!

    Swedish Pecans
    1 lb pecans (whole, halves)
    2 egg whites, whipped until stiff
    1 C sugar
    dash of salt
    5 Tbsp butter

    Toast pecans for 15 min in a 325F. While they are toasting, beat

    'meringue' and in a jelly roll pan melt the butter. Cover the
    butter with pecans and bake for 30 minutes at 325F. Stir and turn
    every 10 minutes. The 'meringue' bakes on to the nuts and makes
    them sweet and crunchy!

    Spiced Mixed Nuts
    1 egg white, lightly beaten
    1 tsp water
    1 jar (8 oz.) dry roasted peanuts
    1/2 cup blanched whole almonds
    1/2 cup walnut or pecan halves
    3/4 cup sugar
    1 Tbs. pumpkin pie spice

    In a large bowl, combine egg white and water. Add nuts, toss to
    coat. Combine sugar and spice, sprinkle over the nuts and toss
    until well coated. Place nuts in a single layer on a lightly
    greased baking sheet. Bake at 300F for 20-25 minutes.
    Immediately transfer the nuts to waxed paper; cool. Break up any
    large clusters. Store in a covered container.


    CANDIED (GLAZED) PECANS
    MAKES 1 1/2 CUPS
    1/2 cup granulated sugar
    1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
    1 tablespoon water
    1 1/2 cups pecan halves
    1 1/2 teaspoons salt

    On a countertop, spread a piece of aluminum foil 12X24 inches
    in size (alternatively, you may use a sheet of Silpat or other
    reuseable silicone liner sheet) or parchment paper. If using
    foil or parchment, oil it lightly with vegetable oil to coat.
    In a medium-size saucepan, combine the sugar, butter and water.
    Heat over medium-low heat until the butter has melted, then
    add the pecans (or other nuts). Continue to cook the nut
    mixture, stirring constantly, for about 10 minutes.
    Pour the nut mixture onto the prepared foil or other surface.
    Immediately (working quickly) spread the nuts apart to
    separate each one. Sprinkle the salt over the nuts and allow
    the nuts to cool for 30 minutes or until completely cooled.
    The finished nuts can be stored airtight for up to 2 weeks.
    A SPICY ALTERNATIVE: Add 1/8 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to
    the sugar, butter and water mixture at the start of the
    recipe.

    GINGERED ALMONDS
    MAKES 1 CUP
    2 tablespoons butter, melted
    1 cup blanched almonds
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon ground ginger

    Preheat oven to 350F. Toss the blanched almonds with the
    melted butter to coat evenly, then spread the nut in one
    layer on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven
    for about 20 minutes, or until golden - stirring every
    5 - 10 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and ginger, and toss to
    coat.
    --
    PARMESAN WALNUTS
    MAKES 1 CUP
    1 cup walnuts
    2 tablespoons butter, melted
    1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    Preheat oven to 350F. Toss walnuts in melted butter to coat
    evenly, then spread in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
    Bake for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle grated
    Parmesan over the nuts and return to oven for 3-4 minutes


    BUTTER ROASTED PECANS
    MAKES 2 CUPS
    2 cups pecan halves
    1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
    2 tablespoons Kosher salt
    1/4 teaspoon (or to taste) fresh-ground black pepper

    Preheat oven to 350F. Toss pecans in melted butter to coat
    evenly (or melt butter in a skillet, and toss pecans in
    melted butter that way). Spread nuts in a single layer on
    a cookie sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring
    frequently. Sprinkle with salt and fresh pepper, and toss
    to coat evenly.
    HINT: To make these less buttery (on your fingers) toss the
    hot roasted nuts, as soon as you remove them from the oven,
    in a brown paper bag - along with the seasonings. Then serve
    in a warm dish.
