Dear Diane,

Is this it?? (you could substitute any mixed nuts for the pecans)

Spiced Pecans

 1 egg white
 1/4 cup sugar
 1 tbs. cinnamon
 2 1/2 cup pecan

 In a bowl mix pecans and egg white until pecans are well coated.  Mix
 cinnamon and sugar then pour over nuts.  Mix until pecans are well
coated.

 Spread on ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 300 degrees for 30
minutes.

Regards from Florida,

Myron (aka "Beach Boy")
