Instructions
00:00 Introduction
00:18 Preheat oven to 250F (120C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
00:22 Combine egg white, water, and vanilla extract in a large bowl and whisk vigorously for 30 seconds (mixture should be foamy/frothy).
01:04 Add pecans and stir until all pecans are coated in egg white.
01:28 In a separate bowl, whisk together the sugars, cinnamon, salt, and allspice (if using).
02:08 Pour the sugar mixture over the pecans and stir until completely combined.
02:23 Spread nuts in an even layer onto prepared cookie sheet.
02:53 Bake on 250F (150C) for 45-50 minutes, removing cookie sheet from oven every 15 minutes and using a spatula to stir/flip the pecans (be sure to stir ALL of the sugar mixture as well, or it may burn to the pan).
03:22 After baking, allow to cool at least 15 minutes before enjoying.
Store candied pecans in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
*Allspice is optional but the candied pecans that I usually buy from the Amish markets use it and it adds a nice extra touch.
