Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Grease a cookie sheet or line with a Silpat mat.

In a small bowl combine sugar, salt and cinnamon. Set aside.

In the bowl of your mixer whip egg whites, water and vanilla for 2 minutes.

By hand stir pecans into egg whites until coated.

Sprinkle and gently stir to coat sugar mixture over pecans. I do it in about 3 stages. Making sure they are all coated evenly.

Spread pecans in an even layer on cookie sheet.

Bake for 1 hour stirring every 15 minutes.

Cool. Store in an airtight container.
