Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 lb pecans or 1 lb walnut pieces
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

Steps:

Preheat slow cooker/Crock Pot on high for 15 minutes.

Cover and slow-cook on high for 15 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and slow cook, UNCOVERED, stirring occasionally, until the nuts are coated with a crisp glaze (should be about 2 hours.) Transfer the nuts to a bowl.
In another small bowl, combine the spices and sift them over the nuts, stirring to coat evenly.
Let cool before serving.

Tips:

Use fresh nuts: Fresh nuts will have a better flavor and texture than stale nuts.
Choose the right nuts: Pecans and walnuts are both great choices for sugared nuts, but you can also use other nuts like almonds, cashews, or hazelnuts.
Roast the nuts before sugaring them: Roasting the nuts will help to bring out their flavor and make them more crispy.
Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: A heavy-bottomed saucepan will help to prevent the sugar from burning.
Stir the nuts constantly: Stirring the nuts constantly will help to prevent them from sticking together.
Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer will help you to ensure that the sugar is cooked to the right temperature.
Let the nuts cool completely: Let the nuts cool completely before serving them. This will help them to set and become more crispy.

Conclusion:

Sugared nuts are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or gift. They can be made with a variety of different nuts, and the flavor can be customized by using different spices or extracts. With a little planning, you can make sugared nuts that are perfect for any occasion.
