Orange Chili-Spiced Pecans

Seriously folks, this is one of my favorite pre-holiday meal snacks. So pretty, so yummy, so easy to make! These pecans are a crowd pleaser too, so why not try making them for your next holiday party?

1 TBS grated orange rind

1 TBS fresh orange juice

1 large egg white

2 cups pecan halves

1 TBS dark brown sugar

1 or less tsp salt

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 cup sweetened dried cranberries

1. Preheat oven to 225 - 235

2. Combine first 2 ingredients in a bowl, stir with a whisk. Add pecans, stir to coat.

3. Combine sugar, salt and chili powder, add to pecan mix and toss well.

4. Spread in a single layer on a jelly-roll/ cookie sheet coated with cooking spray. Bake 40 minutes - 1 hour, stirring occasionally. (mine usually finish around 40 min)

5. Remove from oven, cool completely. Stir in cranberries.
