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
