Cinnamon Sugar Roasted Pecans

if you don't love buttery, cinnamony, sweet deliciousness- then please, by all means - AVOID this recipe!
my parents live on an old pecan orchard (they have about 70 pecan trees!), so we always have pecans in our freezer. i use them a lot for baking, but sometimes i just have to make these roasted pecans. they make great gifts, too (they're kind of christmasey but i like them all year 'round!)
let the deliciousness begin!

i meant to have this picture turned horizontally but oh well. here we have
1 lb pecans (maybe a little over) on the plate
1 egg white (beaten)
1 T water
1 c sugar
1 t cinnamon
in the bowl

meanwhile, 1 stick of butter (i used unsalted) is melting in a 13x9 inch pan.

after stirring the pecans into the egg white/sugar mixture, the mix gets poured into the pan full 'o' butter.

after 90 minutes of cooking @ 250 degrees and stirring every 15 minutes (the stirring is a very important step that should NOT be skipped!), here are the delicious pecans- ready to eat!

now what could be much easier than that???
