Ingredients

  • 1 large egg white
  • 1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder, to taste (2 to 3)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • raw pecan halves
  • 14 cup sugar
  • 1 grated orange, zest of

Method

  • Preheat oven to 225 degrees F.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the egg white in a large, stainless steel bowl and whip until frothy.
  • Whip in orange juice concentrate, curry powder, salt and, if desired, cayenne.
  • Add the pecans and toss until completely coated.
  • Add the sugar and toss again.
  • Transfer the nuts to the prepared sheet and arrange in a single layer.
  • Place in the oven and cook, stirring every 15 minutes, until lightly colored and dried out, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven, immediately loosen the nuts with a metal spatula, sprinkle with the orange zest, and set aside to cool before serving.
  • Don't substitute prepared orange juice for the concentrate, which is stickier and stronger.
  • Mango, pineapple or orange sorbet makes a better substitute.
