Sugar/Cinnamon Coated Pecan Recipe

[dannyzmom]

A friend of mine shared her yummy pecans with us at the park yesterday but refuses to cough up the recipe. She said it does use egg whites, cinnamon, salt (a tiny bit) and sugar...but wouldn't tell us the amounts. She said you bake them slowly but wouldn't say at what temp or for how long...ARGH...
anyone know????

 

[letscook04]

A REAL friend would share her recipe!!

 

[JAE]

What is up with that? Why would someone do that?

 

[dianevill]

Could it be the Harvest Spiced Nuts from the Delightful Desserts cookbook? It has pecan halves, egg white, brown sugar, and the Cinnamon Plus Spice Blend; no salt, though.

It is a delicious recipe!

I hate it when people do that!

Sounds like my step-mom's recipe....they are to die for!

Preheat oven to 250

Mix together:
1 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
2 Egg Whites - beat until frothy

Toss 1 pound of pecan halves into mixture, coat well. Spread them on a cookie sheet. Bake 1 hour, turn every 15 minutes.

Do you have to turn them every 15 minutes if your cooking them on the Bar Pan??

 

[chef131doreen]

We have that recipe in I think all the best cookbook

 

[dannyzmom]

She said there is no brown sugar...
ARGH!!

I do not know. I've actually never made them, I just have her recipe.

 

[pamperedlinda]

She said there is no brown sugar...
ARGH!!

Well, since she won't give you the recipe can you trust her to tell you the truth about the ingredients ? This recipe is really good....maybe even better than hers .....wouldn't that just be fitting!?

Good point LInda - I am going to try your recipe!
Clarify for me please? Do I beat the eggs alone and then add teh dry ingredients or do I beat everything together & then add the nuts?

 

[pamperedlinda]

Carolyn,

You need to beat the eggs until they are 'frothy' (not stiff like a merangue - sp?) then add the other ingredients then mix in the nuts. I hope you like this recipe, I love it.

Here's my recipe. It is wonderful! I got it from a friend years ago.

Pecan Puffs

1 egg white
1/4 c. brown sugar, packed
1/4 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. cream of tartar
pinch of salt
2 c. pecan halves

Beat egg white until stiff. Add brown sugar, soda, salt and tartar. Fold in pecans, being sure to coat each nut completely. Place in single layer on greased baking pan and bake at 250° for 35-40 minutes. Cool. Break apart.

I make them on the bar pan and I do not turn them during baking.

 

[AnthemChef]

Yum! Sounds great for topping off salads or snacking on.

I can't imagine telling a friend that I wouldn't share a recipe... I'm always so happy when anyones asks for my recipes!

This is a recipe I got from a friend and I can't keep them in the house.

Sugar and Spice Pecans

4 C pecan halves
1/2 C Sugar
1 egg white
2 1/2 tsp water
1/2 tsp allspice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
Combine last six ingredients. Pour over pecan halves and mix well. Bake @ 275 degrees in an oiled 9x13 cake pan for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Make sure these are done by letting one cool and then tasting. They will be crunchy, not chewy. Cool on wax paper

This one sounds good, Marissa. Bet we could use Cinnamon Plus instead of the allspice & cinnamon.

Marisa's recipe is similar to mine...and I *DO* substitute our Cinnamon Plus for the cinnamon...YUMMY!

Well, I finally got my friend to cough up the recipe and the above one is it!
I threw them together in like 5 minutes today, tossed them in the oven & left DH to turn them every 15 minutes while I ran out to pick up the kids. They were great!! I used parchment on my stone rather than greasing it & they are DELISH!!!
Thanks everyone for your help!!!
