Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 c Unsalted butter
2 lg Eggs -- whites only
1 pn Salt
1 c Granulated sugar
1 qt Pecan halves
2 ts Vanilla extract
1/2 ts Ground cinnamon

Set aside stick of butter to melt in a long pan. Don't use a pan
that has depressions around the side, such as for lasagna. Preheat
oven to 300?F.

Separate eggs; sprinkle a pinch of salt onto the egg whites. You
can reserve the yolks to make custards. Beat the whites to form
soft peaks. Gradually add the sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla extract.
Fold in pecan halves.

Turn out pecans and spread over the melted butter. Don't stir them
in. Cook for 15 minutes. Take out the pan and stir the nuts. Cook
for 10 minutes more, take out and stir. Repeat until the nuts are
separated and all the butter is absorbed, a little over 1 hour.

Be patient! For a long time it will look totally disgusting and you
will be sure I gave you a bogus recipe, but it works! Theoretically
you can use other nuts, but I've tried both almonds and walnuts and
was disappointed...
