3 c. mixed unsalted nuts
1 egg white
1 tbsp. orange juice or water
2/3 c. water
1 tbsp. grated orange rind; optional
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. salt

Heat oven to 275 degrees. In a large bowl, place nuts; set aside. In a small bowl beat egg whites and orange juice or water until frothy; add sugar, orange rind, spice, and salt; mix well. Pour over nuts, stirring to coat well.

On a greased jelly roll pan or a large shallow roasting pan, spread nuts so they do not touch. Bake, stirring every 15 minutes until light brown and crisp, 45-55 minutes. Cool. Store in an airtight container in a cool place up to 1 month. Makes 5 cups.

NOTE: Nice Christmas gift. Put in a decorated jar or can.
