Crisp and fragrant, these nuts store for two to three weeks in an airtight container -- but they probably won't last that long. -- Deborah Geering, for the Journal-Constitution

Hands on time: 2 minutes  Total time: 22 minutes  Serves: Makes 3 1/2 cups

Ingredients:

    1/2 cup sugar
    2 teaspoons cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 egg white
    3 cups pecan halves

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with heavy-duty foil. In a small bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon and salt. In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg white until frothy. Add pecans to the egg white and toss to coat. Add sugar mixture and toss thoroughly.
Spread pecans in a single layer on the foil-line baking sheets. Bake until toasted and crisp, about 20 minutes. While still warm, use spatula to loosen pecans from foil. Cool completely before transferring to storage container.
