GINGER GLAZED NUTS
These are a must over the holidays or at any time. I have made this recipe using a combo of almonds, walnuts and pecans, you can really just about use any kind of nut for this. The nuts are crunchy, sweet with just the perfect amount of ginger taste! I most always double the recipe to make of 8 cups of nuts, I find that 4 cups just go way too fast. If you don't plan on using the nuts right away you can store them in the freezer in a zip-lock freezer bag. If you want to just kick the flavor up a bit, then add in about 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (no more than 1/4 teaspoon!) These nuts are also great used in salads.

- Melt butter in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat. Add remaining ingredients except almonds and cook, stirring, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat, then add almonds and stir until coated.
- Spread almonds in a lightly oiled shallow baking pan (1 inch deep)and bake, stirring occasionally, until insides of nuts are golden (cut 1 open to test), about 25 minutes. Cool completely.
Tips:
- Choose the right almonds. For best results, use whole, raw almonds that are free of any blemishes or cracks.
- Measure your ingredients carefully. This is especially important for the ginger-sugar syrup, as the proportions of sugar and water need to be exact in order to achieve the right consistency.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help to prevent the sugar from burning.
- Cook the sugar syrup over medium heat. Do not boil it, as this will cause the sugar to crystallize.
- Stir the almonds constantly while they are roasting. This will help to ensure that they are evenly coated with the ginger-sugar syrup.
- Spread the almonds out in a single layer on a baking sheet. This will help them to cool evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
- Store the almonds in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
