Ingredients
- 2 cups Pecan halves
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 0.125 teaspoon Ground cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg white and water together until frothy. This will help the sugar and spices stick to the pecans.
Step 3
Add the pecan halves to the bowl with the egg white mixture and toss until they are evenly coated.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, ground cloves, and salt. Mix well.
Step 5
Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the coated pecans and toss until all the pecans are evenly coated with the mixture.
Step 6
Spread the pecans in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
Step 8
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the pecans to cool completely on the pan. They will become crispy as they cool.
Step 9
Once cooled, transfer the candied pecans to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
