Notes
To make on the stove top, add egg white, water, sugar, cinnamon, and salt to a non-stick skillet and cook over medium-heat for 1-2 minutes, until sugar is dissolved and mixture bubbles. Then add pecans and cook for about 3 minutes, until pecans are coated and caramelized. Remove from heat and pour onto wax paper to cool.
