SUGAR GLAZED PECANS

4 eggs, whites only

½ cup champagne or ginger ale

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons cinnamon

1 teaspoon ground ginger

2 cups sugar

8 cups pecan halves

 

Preheat the oven to 250°

Spray two baking pans (15" X 10" X 1" each) with nonstick coating spray

Separate eggs and in a large bowl whisk egg whites

Add champagne (or ginger ale), salt, cinnamon, ground ginger, sugar and pecan halves

Fold this together until the nuts are evenly coated

Spread the mixture out onto the baking pans

Bake at 250° for 1 to 1½ hours until the coating is absorbed and the pecans appear dry, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking

Separate the pecans into a single layer with two forks

When they are cooled store at room temperature in an airtight container
