Spiced Pecans

Spiced Nuts

I decided to make these for two reasons: 1) it’s fall and appropriate for the time of year and 2) I needed some spiced pecans for some cupcakes I was devising.

What I have listed below is the recipe that I will be using for the upcoming cupcakes: bourbon pie cupcakes (yummy!).

Ingredients:

3 cups pecan halves

1 egg white, lightly beaten

1 Tbsp water

¼ cup brown sugar, packed

1 tsp ground cinnamon

½ tsp ground cloves

¼ tsp ground nutmeg

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Line a 9 X 13 baking pan with parchment paper
3. Combine the egg with the water
4. Place pecans in a medium-sized bowl.  Add water-egg mixture to pecans, and stir to coat
5. Combine the sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg
6. Pour the sugar-seasoning mix over the coated pecans, stirring to coat
7. Pour the pecans into the prepared pan, spreading as evenly as possible
8. Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring twice.
