Time 45m

Yield 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 cups plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cups whole almonds

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together the cinnamon, cayenne pepper and 1 tablespoon of the sugar; set aside.
  • In a 4-quart saucepan, combine 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons water and the remaining 1 1/2 cups sugar. Stir over medium-high heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture boils.
  • Add the almonds and stir constantly over medium-high heat until the water evaporates and the sugar starts to dry and turn gray. (The sugar mixture will start to foam and then start to dry and look like sand. This takes 5 to 6 minutes.) Continue stirring constantly until the sugar starts to melt and caramelize, coating about half of the almonds in a reddish-brown sugar mixture and the rest in a glossy sugar mixture, 2 to 3 minutes.

SWEET & SAVORY SPICED NUTS



Sweet & Savory Spiced Nuts image

I found this recipe on familyfun.com They used pecans in the recipe, but I am sure you could sub any nuts you choose. They use a bit of canola or corn oil in the glaze, you could use a mild flavoured olive oil as well. These would be a great addition to any holiday goodie basket. They do say to avoid putting the nuts in plastic bags because the coating will rub off. The best method to package them would be in a small glass bowl wrapped with cellophane, or in a small decorative tin.
