Yield Makes about 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups raw cashews (9 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/8 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
1/8 cup confectioners sugar
About 3 cups vegetable oil for deep-frying
Special Equipment
a deep-fat thermometer

Steps:

  • Cover cashews with water in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart saucepan and simmer until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Drain, then transfer to paper towels to dry, 40 to 50 minutes.
  • Stir together salt and cayenne.
  • Toss cashews with sugar in a bowl, then shake in a sieve to remove excess. Heat 1 1/2 inches oil in dried saucepan over moderate heat until it registers 375°F on thermometer. Fry cashews in 3 batches, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown and crisp, 2 to 3 minutes per batch. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a baking sheet as fried and sprinkle with some cayenne mixture. (Return oil to 375°F between batches.)

These candied cashews are a great way to use up leftover cashews. I had a bag of cashews that was about to go bad, so I made this recipe and they turned out great.
