Swedish Nuts

Directions

1. 1
   Beat egg whites until stiff.
2. 2
   Add sugar slowly, folding as for a meringue.
3. 3
   Add a pinch of salt.
4. 4
   Stir or fold in nuts (I use a mixture of pecans, walnuts and almonds) into meringue, being sure they are all well coated.
5. 5
   Melt oleo in large, shallow pan. (Sometimes I use the broiler pan.) Spread meringue coated nuts in melted oleo.
6. 6
   Place in a 325° oven; allow nuts to cook slowly. Stir every 15 minutes; keep baking until nuts are brown and all oleo is absorbed.
7. 7
   Cool on waxed paper; store in airtight containers.
