SUGAR 'N' SPICE NUTS



Sugar 'n' Spice Nuts image

To tell the truth, I can't recall where this recipe came from. It's been a regular in my holiday baking, though, for many years. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's, I hand these out to almost everybody-even the mailman's been known to find a batch in the mailbox! I moved from a big city as a bride. My husband soon persuaded me to enter baked goods at our county fair-now, our son, 8, is my cookie tester, and our daughter, 6, is the egg beater.

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon unsalted butter plus additional for greasing parchment
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Rounded 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 cups mixed nuts
Special Equipment
parchment paper

Steps:

  • Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly butter parchment.
  • Stir together butter, sugar, corn syrup, spices, and salt in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add nuts and cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes. Spread nuts in 1 layer on lined baking sheet, separating any clumps. Bake, stirring nuts once with a heatproof rubber (silicone) spatula halfway through baking (keep nuts in 1 layer), until golden and bubbling, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheet on a rack 45 minutes, then break into small clusters with your hands.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of nuts: This will give your mixed nuts a more interesting flavor and texture. Some good options include almonds, walnuts, pecans, cashews, and pistachios.
  • Roast the nuts before using them: This will bring out their flavor and make them more crunchy. You can roast nuts in the oven or in a pan on the stovetop.
  • Add spices and seasonings to taste: This is a great way to customize your mixed nuts and make them your own. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves, and cayenne pepper.
  • Sweeten the nuts with honey or maple syrup: This is a great way to add a touch of sweetness to your mixed nuts. You can also use granulated sugar, but honey or maple syrup will give your nuts a more natural flavor.
  • Add dried fruit or chocolate chips: This is a great way to add some extra sweetness and flavor to your mixed nuts. Some good options include raisins, cranberries, cherries, and chocolate chips.
