Categories     Nut     Christmas     Edible Gift

Yield 4 Cups

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 1/2 cups mixed nuts
1/2 cup butter
2 egg whites
1 cup white sugar
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Place nuts on a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan, and bake for 10 minutes. Remove nuts, and melt butter on pan. In a medium bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually beat in the sugar and salt. Fold toasted nuts into egg white mixture. Arrange the coated nuts in a single layer on the buttered pan. Bake for 30 minutes in the preheated oven, turning nuts with spatula every 10 minutes, until outside is crisp and golden. Cool, and store in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Ensure your oven is preheated to the right temperature before baking the Swedish nuts.
  • Use a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking. This also makes cleanup easier.
  • Be careful not to burn the sugar mixture. Watch it closely and stir continuously to prevent crystallization.
  • Pour the hot sugar mixture over the nuts in a thin, even layer. This will help ensure that each nut is evenly coated.
  • Let Swedish nuts cool completely before storing them. This will help prevent them from sticking together.

Conclusion:

Swedish nuts are a delicious and festive holiday treat that is sure to be enjoyed by all. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them sweet, salty, or somewhere in between, Swedish nuts are a perfect addition to your holiday baking list.
