So fun to snack on alone or toss into salads. The original recipe makes about 3 cups, but they store well especially in the fridge for several weeks.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups pecan, whole
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 1 orange, zest

Serving Size: 8 People

Preparation Instructions

Preheat the oven to 300.

Beat the egg white until soft peaks form. This made easier with an electric beater. Toss in the pecans, coating lightly. Stir in the powdered sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, orange zest and pinch of salt.

Turn out on to a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Bake for 15 minutes. Toss. Bake for an additional 15 minutes. Turn the oven of and let them sit for another 15 minutes in the cooling oven. Remove from the hot baking sheet and cool completely.
