These are a Christmas tradition in my house. I'm making them right now, and it definitely smells like Christmas in here.

2 eggs
4 T water
4 cups pecan halves
1 cup sugar
2 t cinnamon
1 t salt
1/2 t ground cloves
1/2 t ground nutmeg

Preheat oven to 325. Whisk eggs and water together, add pecans and stir to coat well. Drain in a colander. Mix the sugar and spices, add the pecans, and stir to coat. Spread pecans on two baking sheets. Bake for 35 minutes. Immediately remove to foil sprayed with Pam. Separate nuts when completely cooled.

YUMMY!

A better party gift than a bottle of wine! Well, maybe...
