prep: 5 minutes
cook: 10 minutes
Description: During the holiday it is nice to have something to snack on. The smells coming out of the kitchen are painfully good when your visiting or hosting. I also like to give these spice nuts as gifts. The nuts were a bit pricey this year. I was able to find unsalted mixed nuts in the bulk bins for a reasonable price. Warning these are tasty and addicting!
Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon cayanne pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
4 cups unsalted mixed nuts
4 tablespoons butter
6 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Mix spices and set aside.
2. Heat the nuts in a dry skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to toast, about 4 minutes.
3. Add the butter and cook, stirring, until the nuts begin to darken, about 1 minute.
4. Add the spices, the sugar, 1 tablespoon water, and the salt and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and the nuts are glazed, about 5 minutes.
5. Remove the nuts from the heat and transfer to a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, separating them with a fork.6. Let the nuts stand until cooled and the sugar has hardened, about 10 minutes.
7. Store in an airtight container.
