1 tablespoon water
1 cup white sugar
¾ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon cardamom
¼ teaspoon ground cayenne pepper

Preheat oven to 250°. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whip together the egg white and water until frothy. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, salt, and spices.
Add peanuts to egg whites; stir to coat the nuts evenly. Remove the nuts and toss them in the sugar mixture until coated. Spread out the nuts on the prepared baking sheet.

Why does this Haywood County town have some of the cleanest water in the state? It’s the result of the community’s efforts to keep the forests in its watershed pristine.
The spectacular views in North Carolina’s High Country aren’t just inspiration for writers, painters, and sculptors. Those landscapes — the rugged gray face of Grandfather Mountain, the vibrant fall leaves, the deep green meadows — are brushstrokes on Earth’s own canvas.
The sprawling vineyards and wide-open skies that stretch for miles across seven North Carolina counties offer relaxing getaways — not to mention some of the state’s finest wines — for Sunday drivers aching to escape the rush of city life.
Nothing lasts forever — and that’s what makes many of our cherished moments so special.
