3 1/2 c. pecan halves
1 c. sugar
2 egg whites
dash of salt
dash of cinnamon
1/2 c. butter

Preheat oven to 300°F. Spread pecans in single layer on jelly roll pan and roast 15-20 minutes. DO NOT BURN! Remove pecans and let cool. Increase oven to 325°F. Beat egg whites until stiff. Gently fold in sugar, salt and cinnamon. Once pecans are cooled, gently fold into egg white mixture. Melt butter in jelly roll pan and return pecans to pan in single layer.

Bake 30 minutes, turning pecans every 10 minutes, until butter is gone.
