Spiced Pecans


OliveBranch

Recommended Posts

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.

      Thanks for sharing this info! Frustrating to see companies who haven't used wheat as an ingredient start to do so! https://blistex.com/product/five-star-lip-protection/

      I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet to get my symptoms calmed down and my nutrients up.   I know what a struggle it is.  You're why I'm here. Smoothing out some rough parts of your journey makes my journey worthwhile. Here's the tests you can get for Celiac antibodies...

      @Ginger38, I'm with you!   I could not take Metformin.  I got so sick, constant diarrhea, abdominal cramps, extreme highs and lows, no energy, weight loss, muscle wasting.  Just horrible.   Metformin is known to block thiamine absorption.  Talk to your doctor about thiamine deficiency.  It's called Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  My doctor didn't recognize thiamine deficiency outside of alcoholism.  So I took over the counter Thiamine in the form Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide and felt health improvement within an hour.  Magical!   I followed the Autoimmune Protocol diet to get my stomach calmed down and control my blood glucose levels without medication. Being diabetic, we lose more thiamine through our kidneys, and the Metformin on top of it and malabsorption from Celiac.  Talk to your doctor soon!

      Thankyou I will be seeing my new primary this coming Monday and will ask.I did ask about some other blood test to look for that I saw on this website.I pushed the second ANA panel two months ago thinking it would show but found out it doesn't.I don't have lupus which seems what the ANA panel seems to only look for.I have come to the conclusion that doctors are like hair people meaning all hair places know how to cut hair and style but not all know how to grow hair.I was given tramadel for nearly 20 years to push through. I literally can't no more and stopped taking tramadel since I was swelling slowly in the belly.I will diffently show new primary this website and hopefully he will help.Its so hard because im falling apart with my eye, skin and read every label and stay away from what Im not supposed to.I had SIBO test done and it died on me and didn't complete all 8 breathes just the 5.I spoke to np and was finally validated by word of mouth.Cone to find out I have to repeat again.I went to a reputable hospital to be let down.I have to redo breath test but want to do at hospital instead of at home so no issues.Its not pleasant drinking that glucose stuff and not getting a direct answer. I live in Northern Cali.What recommended gi would know about celiac  disease, really know because I thought I found one but didn't. I don't want to digest any wheat, dairy, peanuts, rye, barely, eggs,garlic, walnuts because I get sick.When i showed the reputable hospital my past food allergies i was told that test is old.My thoughts were i was made in 1971 and its still avtive with diagestive issues.
