Swedish Nuts
3 1/2 cups mixed nuts
1/2 cup butter
2 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
salt to taste
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place nuts on a 10x15
inch jellyroll pan, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove nuts, and melt
butter on pan. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks
form. Gradually beat in the sugar and salt. Fold toasted nuts into
egg white mixture.
Arrange the coated nuts in a single layer on the buttered pan. Bake
for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, turning nuts with spatula every
10 minutes, until outside is crisp and golden. Cool, and store
in an airtight container.
