Cinnamon-Roasted Almonds

This is a great recipe to make when you want/need little hostess gifts to take to holiday parties, and such. You just fill small, pretty jars with this treat, decorate with a ribbon, a cute tag, and surprise your hostess. Also good for little gifts for casual friends and neighbors you want to remember.

Cinnamon-Roasted Almonds

1 egg white
1 teaspoon cold water
4 cups almonds
½ cup white sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon, freshly ground black pepper (optional)

Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Lightly grease one 15x10x1 inch jellyroll pan.

Lightly beat the egg white; add water and beat until frothy but not stiff. Add the nuts and stir until well coated. Sift together the sugar, salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Sprinkle over the nuts and toss to mix. Spread on pan and bake for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
