1/8 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 teaspoons cinnamon

Drop pecan halves in the liquid mixture; remove and drain excess liquid from the pecans. Drop the pecan halves into the dry mix and roll the pecans about until each half is coated. Place coated pecan halves on 2 14x17-inch cookie sheets. Do not have pecans touching. Bake 1 hour at 250 degrees. Remove from cookie sheets when cooled. Store in tightly covered container.
