Swedish Spiced Pecans

Swedish Spiced Pecans

 Great idea for Easter baskets other than candy.

12 oz. pecan halves
3 tbsp. salted butter...
1 egg white
½ cup white sugar
1 tsp. ground cardamom
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper

Line cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Slice butter into six small pieces and spread across baking sheet. Put in oven and preheat to 350º.

Beat egg white and sugar until thick and white and glossy (about six minutes with an electric mixer or two minutes with a Magic Bullet). Sprinkle in cardamom and cayenne pepper. Whip for a few seconds and then add pecans.

Tilt pan to coat completely with butter. Spread pecans across baking sheet. Bake at 350º, stirring every ten minutes for a total of 30 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

Store in fridge for 1 month.
