Preheat oven to 250° F. Line a large baking sheet with non-stick aluminum foil*. In a medium mixing bowl, beat the egg white until frothy. Add the vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon and salt; beat until mixture thickens. Fold pecan halves into egg white mixture with a wooden spoon until well coated. Spread coated pecans on a single layer on prepared baking sheet. Bake at 250° F for one hour to one hour and 15 minutes; stir every 15 minutes. Yield: 2½ cups. *Note: Grease the baking sheet well with butter or non-stick spray if you don't have non-stick aluminum foil. |
