Less Than $1.50 Each

I love giving homemade goodies for Christmas; it is not only cost effective but a lot of fun. This year we will be giving sugared pecans to almost everyone on our Christmas list.

Sugared Pecans

4 cups pecan halves

1 cup white sugar

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 egg white

small amount of water

In a medium size bowl add egg white and a spoon or two of water; whisk well. Add pecans and gently stir to coat all pecans.

Mix sugar, cinnamon and salt together and pour over wet pecans;

Stir well until all pecans are covered in sugar.

Place in a baking pan with sides; bake 250 degrees for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

When pecans are fully baked place on wax paper to cool.

When pecans are fully cooled put into gift container. Pat found vintage jars for $1 each that work very well as a gift jar; the receiver will be receiving two gifts in one.

Not bad for a gift that cost less than $1.50!
