Holiday Pecans

4 cups crispy pecan halves (cook at 350 for 15-20 minutes)
3 egg whites
pinch salt
1/2 cup maple syrup
1 T vanilla


Beat egg whites with salt until stiff. Slowly beat in syrup and vanilla. Fold into pecans until coated. Spread on 2 buttered baking pans and place in warm oven (no more than 150 degrees) for several hours until egg white coating hardens. Store in air-tight container.
