Spiced Pecans

Hi All,

I was trying to come up with more foods to sustain me amidst all my current restrictions, and thought of spiced pecans. I found a recipe at AllRecipes.com and modified it to the following... now I can't stop eating them! Hope the recipe might be of use to some of you--it is really outrageously simple and very festive.

SPICED PECANS

3 cups pecan halves

1 egg white

1/3 cup sugar (though I think it would still be good with considerably less, if you are watching your sugar intake)

1/2 tsp. salt

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 tsp. Trader Joe's Pumpkin Pie Spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon peel, cardamom, cloves)

1. Preheat oven to 300 F/175 C

2. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil.

3. Mix sugar, salt, and spices in a small bowl.

4. Beat egg white + 1 tbs water until stiff.

5. Mix in pecans. Add sugar mixture and coat well.

6. Spread pecans out on foil lined sheet; bake for 30-40 minutes, and then transfer to a plate to cool.

I'm going to try your recipe. Mine uses butter so the calories are higher but it is done in the crockpot.

Forgot to mention that you should stir/flip the pecans a couple times while they are in the oven.

Ahorsesoul--your recipe looks wonderful! I will try that for a more decadent version some time as well :D

I've made sweet pecans or walnuts in my dehydrator. This way they stay raw. Simply take a date or two and whiz them in the food processor with a little water. I have to put a towel around the food processor because the water can squirt out where the pieces connect. Add cinnamon to taste and a dash of salt. I use Real Salt. Soak the nuts in this liquid for about 30 minutes then spread out on dehydrator sheets (mesh with fruit leather sheets underneath if drippy) and dehydrate until crunchy.

You could also bake these in the oven but they wouldn't be raw.

      COVID19 and getting glutened

      By lauramac · Posted

      I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease abput 10 years ago. When I was initially diagnosed my only "symptom" was persistently low iron (that occasionally dipped into anemia). After diagnosis,  over time, I started to develop symptoms when exposed to gluten--they have been overall relatively minor, but have increased over time (and yes, I realize my guts are likely being wrecked regardless of the symptoms) on the rare occasions I've been exposed to gluten. I had COVID19 last week (now testing negative) and was glutened last night (never trust anything labeled gluten-free in a mixed environment). I had my traditional symptoms (sharp gas pains, burping, nausea, stomach ache) but they were accompanied by new, more intense symptoms (muscle cramps all over my body--feet, calves, biceps, neck, shoulders, jaw, abdomen, I'm still sore today and cold sweats). I spent about 6 hours writhing before I felt well enough to get up.  I have been told by my allergist that COVID19 can cause your immune system to hyper react. I'm wondering if that's what happened here.   Has anyone else had experience getting glutened post COVID19? Relatively shortly after recovering from COVID19? Was it a more extreme reaction or same? I can't seem to find any articles on this, so I thought I'd ask the community.  Thank you!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.
