SPICY PECANS

Ingredients:
  • 4 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 tsp. ginger
  • 3/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cloves
  • 1/2 tsp. ground cayenne
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 5 cups pecan halves

In a small bowl, combine cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and cayenne. In a large bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy; add honey, whisk again just until they are combined. Add nuts, a cup at a time, to egg and honey mixture. Remove and toss in the spices. Repeat until all nuts have been coated. Spread on 2 lightly greased baking sheets and bake at 250 degrees for 1 hour. Rotate sheets half way through baking. Coating should be crisp.
