My wish is to be swimming in pecans to candy....

Every year my coworker brings in candied pecans that his wife makes. I seem to have missed that this year having contracted the plague... or what we now know is RSV. I've been sick for weeks and in and out of the office at work, mostly working remote to annoy less people with my coughing and sick antics. We sure missed the holiday nuts, so I decided to try to make some for my family instead. I should have used more nuts! They are going to fly through these. In the spring we are planning to plan a pecan tree, so in a few years we'll be swimming in pecans to candy at Christmas time - I can't wait!

Cinnamon Sugar Candied Pecans
Ingredients
1 large egg white
½ cup sugar
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 cup raw pecans

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg white and 1 tablespoon water until frothy, about 2 minutes; set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine sugars and cinnamon; set aside.
In a large bowl, combine, pecans and egg white mixture until well combined. Stir in brown sugar mixture until evenly coated.
Spread pecan mixture onto prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Place into oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, stirring at halftime.
Let cool completely before serving.
