½ teaspoon salt
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg white
2 teaspoons cold water
1 quart pecans
Preheat oven to 250° (no higher). Mix salt, sugar, and cinnamon together in a small bowl. Set aside. Beat egg white and water until stiff; pour in pecans, and mix well. Pour sugar mixture over pecans, and mix well so that mixture sticks to pecans. Pour pecans onto flat baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. (If pecans are small, only bake for 45 minutes.)
