Old Fashioned Candied Pecans

Earlier this week my husband brought home a small bag of honey roasted pecans.  I have had honey roasted peanuts before, but not pecans.  They were wonderful and I immediately set out in search of a recipe to duplicate those little treasures.  While this recipe does not include honey, it produced the closest results of the two recipes I tried.  Enjoy!

Ingredients
1 egg white
1 tablespoon vanilla
2 1/4 cups pecan halves
1/4 c brown sugar
1/4 cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions
Preheat oven to 225° F. Lightly grease a half sheet pan.

Combine the egg white and vanilla in a mixing bowl and beat until fluffy. Fold in the pecans to coat evenly. Combine sugars, salt, and ground cinnamon in a shaker with a lid. Dust the pecans evenly with the sugar mixture. Spread the nuts over the prepared pan.

Bake in preheated oven for approximately 1 hour.  Every15 minutes remove them from the oven and stir with a spatula to ensure they cook evenly then place them back in the oven and continue cooking until done. Cool and store in an airtight container.
