Ingredients
Egg_white
– 1 white from a large egg
Water
– 1 Tablespoon
Walnuts
– 2 cups walnut halves and pieces
Sugar
– 2 Tablespoons ( or Splenda or brown sugar)
Cinnamon
– 2 teaspoons
Allspice
– ½ teaspoon
Salt
– 1 pinch (optional)
Instructions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 225°F and line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Step 2
Combine egg white and water in a bowl and beat until foamy. Add walnut halves and pieces and toss to coat. Pour the mixture into a strainer and let drain 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Combine sugar, cinnamon and allspice in a plastic or paper bag, or a large boil; shake to mix. Add the walnuts; hold the bag shut and shake vigorously to coat the nuts. Spread the nuts in one layer on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 4
Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Step 5
Cool completely, stirring occasionally and breaking nuts apart if stuck together. Don't worry if they stick to the foil, it’s easy to peel them off.
Step 6
Store in a tightly capped jar.
Notes
For a little citrus flavor try adding 1 teaspoon of orange zest along with the spices.
