If you're looking for a quick and easy little homemade gift to give, I don't think you can go wrong with these Candied Pecans. But be careful....you might find yourself eating them up before you can package them and tie the bow.
You will need:
4 cups (1 lb.) pecan halves
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 cup sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
directions:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Spray a large metal baking sheet with non-stick spray.
Place pecans in a large mixing bowl. Beat egg whites and vanilla in a small bowl, and pour the mixture over pecans. Mix well until all the pecans are coated. In a separate bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon and salt, and pour over pecan mixture. Toss and mix well to evenly coat.
Spread the pecans on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 1 hour, turning and tossing every 15 minutes. Allow to cool completely before packaging them in small tins, bags or paper-lines boxes.
Now that there are only 4 days until Christmas (YIKES!) I am off to bake some more. And wrap. And bake. Oh, and I'm thinking of finishing the stockings I started making years ago......I'll let you know how that goes!

If I made those, I'd just scoff the entire lot before anyone else had the chance to have one!
Andrea, I bought the newest edition of Mollie Makes today. I always read the list of contributors at the front just in case I see someone I know. One face looked VERY familiar. And then the penny dropped! 'Twas your good self! Congrats on being featured in there, it's a fine magazine and one I buy every month.
I'm assuming you knew you'd be in there, but I just wanted to stop by and let you know it's out now.
