Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups raw pecan halves available locally at the Roanoke Natural Foods CoOp
  • 1 egg white, beaten until frothy
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 tablespoons hot honey I like to use AR's Southern Hot Honey made in Richmond, Virginia for this recipe.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray foil with vegetable oil.
  • Place beaten egg white in a bowl. Add pecans and toss to completely cover pecans with egg white.
  • Place sugar, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a plastic bag. Seal bag and shake to combine ingredients.
  • Add pecans to plastic bag with sugar mixture. Seal and shake until pecans are well coated with sugar mixture.
  • Pour pecans and any of the sugar mixture left in the bag onto the aluminum foil lined baking sheet. Drizzle pecans with hot honey and toss with fork to coat pecans with hot honey. Spread pecans into a flat layer.
  • Bake pecans for 15 minutes. Remove from oven and stir well.
  • Reduce oven temperature to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake pecans for two hours longer, stirring and spreading evenly every 30 minutes.
  • Remove pecans from oven and sprinkle with remaining 1 teaspoon salt. Toss pecans with fork to distribute salt. Allow to cool.
  • Once pecans are cool, place in mason jars and seal jars to store them.
