REC: Pumpkin Pie Nuts
These go together in about 10 min. from start to finish so I always reserve it for 'filling in' the Christmas baskets if I need one more thing.
Pumpkin Pie Spiced Nuts
1 egg white
1 tsp. water
1-1/2 cups walnuts
3/4 cups sugar
1 tbl. pumpkin spice
Lay a piece of parchment paper on the counter (about a foot square).
In a 1-1/2 quart bowl (no smaller!), vigorously whisk egg white with the water. Whisk in sugar and spice. Add walnuts and toss until well coated. Place in shallow glass bowl (microwave-safe), and microwave on high about 4-1/2 minutes - stirring twice. Spread immediately on the waxed paper and cool completely.
Store at room temperature.
Note: the one thing you don't want to do is overcook them so they are crystallized and grainy. If this should happen, stir 1 tsp. water into the hot nuts, stirring until they are all wet and the crystals break down. Spread out as usual and dry thoroughly.
