Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups cashews
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the cashews on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Toast the cashews for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Be sure to watch the cashews carefully so they don't burn! Remove the cashews from the oven and cool. In a saucepan (copper works best), add the sugar and the water. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling and the sugar has dissolved, add the cashews. Continue cooking the mixture, stirring constantly. The sugar will thicken, and then become granular again, continue stirring. The sugar will then begin to turn back into a clear liquid. When all of the sugar has turned into a clear liquid, remove the pan from the heat, stirring constantly. Once the sugar begins to turn a golden color, spoon the nuts onto a parchment paper lined sheet pan. Allow to cool.;

This is a really easy breakfast item because you can put it in the oven, set the timer and forget about it while you make everything else and pull it out just before sitting down so it's piping hot.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 3

12 slices bacon, about 1/4-inch thick
Finely ground black pepper
1/3 cup light brown sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
  • Put bacon slices in a bowl, season them with pepper and toss with the brown sugar. Cover a baking sheet with parchment or foil and arrange the bacon in a single layer on top. Sprinkle any sugar left in the bowl over the bacon. Top with another layer of parchment or foil and top it, squarely, with another baking sheet. The baking sheet will flatten the bacon as it cooks.
  • Place the tray in the center of the oven and bake for 20 minutes. Check the bacon by lifting the top tray and parchment. If it is not golden brown and fairly crispy, resist the temptation to turn up the oven temperature, and cook it for 10 to 15 minutes longer. Check it again. Keep in mind that when you remove the tray and transfer the bacon to a serving platter or individual plates, the bacon will "crisp" up a little more. Be patient!

Tips:

  • Use thick-cut bacon: Thicker bacon will hold up better to the candying process and will be less likely to crumble. Look for bacon that is at least 1/4 inch thick.
  • Cook the bacon until it is crispy: This will help to ensure that the bacon is evenly coated with the sugar mixture and will also help to prevent the bacon from becoming chewy.
  • Use a variety of nuts: Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts in the curry cashew mix. Some good options include peanuts, almonds, walnuts, and pecans.
  • Toast the nuts before using them: Toasting the nuts will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy.
  • Use a good quality curry powder: The curry powder is the key ingredient in the curry cashew mix, so be sure to use a good quality powder that has a lot of flavor.
  • Adjust the amount of curry powder to taste: The amount of curry powder you use will depend on your personal preference. If you like a lot of heat, use more curry powder. If you prefer a milder flavor, use less.

Conclusion:

Candied bacon and curry cashew mix is a delicious and easy-to-make snack mix that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover bacon and cashews, and it is also a great gift idea. If you are looking for a tasty and unique snack mix to try, be sure to give this one a try.
