Swedish Nuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 egg whites
2 c. sugar
pinch of salt
2 lb. nuts
1 stick oleo

Preparation

Beat egg whites until stiff.
Add sugar slowly, folding as for a meringue.
Add a pinch of salt.
Stir or fold in nuts (I use a mixture of pecans, walnuts and almonds) into meringue, being sure they are all well coated.
Melt oleo in large, shallow pan. (Sometimes I use the broiler pan.) Spread meringue coated nuts in melted oleo.
Place in a 325\u00b0 oven; allow nuts to cook slowly. Stir every 15 minutes; keep baking until nuts are brown and all oleo is absorbed.
Cool on waxed paper; store in airtight containers.
