5 cups pecan halves, unsalted

2 egg whites
2 Tablespoons water
2 cups granulated sugar

Preheat oven to 300°F (149°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray; or use a silicone baking mat. Set aside. Mix pecans and almonds in a large bowl. Set aside. Using an electric mixer, beat egg whites and water on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, about 4-5 minutes. Add the sugar, cinnamon, and salt, gently folding until combined.
