I planned on giving several people a little gift of some type of home made baked pecans in a little gift tin. Boy did I get a great recipe!!!
1# pecan halves-toast in oven at 350 for 10-12 minutes.
While toasting whisk two egg whites together until frothy.
Slowly add 1/2 tsp salt and 1 cup sugar. I also added a dash of vanilla extract.
Beat until thick.
Add the toasted pecans and mix well
Turn out into a pan lined with parchment paper (easy to clean)in a single layer-you need a fairly large pan
Bake at 250 degrees for 35-40 minutes. I checked every 15 min-they might be slightly brown which is ok
Cool and then break into smaller pieces.
Resist the urge to eat at many as possible!!!
