Sugar Spiced Nuts

1 large egg white
1 tsp water
4 cups mixed, salted, roasted nuts (about 11/4 lb.)
1/2-1 cup sugar
11/2 T cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
3/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Preheat oven to 250.

Whisk together egg white and water in a large bowl until frothy and stir in nuts.  Stir together sugar and cinnamon and stir into nuts, coating well.  Spread nuts in a lightly buttered large shallow pan and bake in middle of oven until dry, about 50 minutes.  Cool and break into bite-size chuncks.

Note:  Nuts keep in an airtight container at room temperature 5 days.
