Spicy Pecans
4 tsp cinnamon1-1/2 tsp ginger
3/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cloves
1/2 tsp ground cayenne
2 egg whites
1/4 cup raw honey
5 cups pecan halves (or walnuts)
In small bowl, combine cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves and cayenne. In large bowl, whisk egg whites until frothy; add honey, whisk again just until egg whites and honey are combined. Add nuts a cup at a time in the egg and honey mixture. Remove and toss in the spices. Repeat again until all the nuts have been coated.
Spread on 2 lightly greased baking sheets; bake at 250 for one hour, rotating sheets halfway through baking, or until coating is crisp and nuts are fragrant. Let cool.
