Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Pecans (or mixed nuts)
- 1 large Egg white
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Spray your crock pot with a light coating of cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg white and water until frothy.
Add the vanilla extract to the egg white mixture and whisk to combine.
Place the nuts in the bowl and stir until they are evenly coated with the egg white mixture.
In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the sugar mixture over the coated nuts and stir until the nuts are evenly coated with the sugar mixture.
Transfer the sugared nuts into the prepared crock pot and spread them in an even layer.
Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring every 20 to 30 minutes to prevent clumping and to coat the nuts evenly with the sugar mixture.
After 2 hours, check that the nuts are glossy and coated with the sugary syrup. Spread them out on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool completely.
Once cooled, the nuts will harden and develop a crunchy texture. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
