GINGER GLAZED NUTS



Ginger Glazed Nuts image

These are a must over the holidays or at any time. I have made this recipe using a combo of almonds, walnuts and pecans, you can really just about use any kind of nut for this. The nuts are crunchy, sweet with just the perfect amount of ginger taste! I most always double the recipe to make of 8 cups of nuts, I find that 4 cups just go way too fast. If you don't plan on using the nuts right away you can store them in the freezer in a zip-lock freezer bag. If you want to just kick the flavor up a bit, then add in about 1/4 teaspoon cayenne (no more than 1/4 teaspoon!) These nuts are also great used in salads.

GINGER AND ALMOND BARS



Ginger and Almond Bars image

Gluten-free bar cookies with an almond meal base and a candied ginger, sliced almond, and honey topping.

Provided by Patricia Wells

Categories     HarperCollins     Dessert     Almond     Ginger     Cookies     Bake     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Honey

Yield Makes 16 bars

Number Of Ingredients 17

Base:
3 tablespoons (45 g) unsalted butter
1 3/4 cups (165 g) almond meal (also called almond flour or almond powder)
2 tablespoons peeled and grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons mild honey, such as clover
1 large egg, free-range and organic, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Topping:
4 tablespoons (60 g) unsalted butter
1 cup (80 g) sliced almonds
1/3 cup (45 g) minced candied ginger
1/3 cup (80 ml) mild honey, such as clover
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Special Equipment
A 9-1/2-inch (24 cm) square baking pan; baking parchment; a 2-quart (2 l) saucepan; a baking rack.

Steps:

  • Center a rack in the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line the pan with baking parchment, letting the parchment hang over the sides. (This will make it easier to remove the dessert once baked.)
  • Prepare the base:
  • In the saucepan, melt the butter. Add the almond meal, fresh ginger, honey, egg, salt, and vanilla. Stir until well combined. The mixture should be thick and sticky.
  • Turn the mixture out into the prepared pan. To help make a level and even base, place a piece of plastic wrap on top of the base. Using a flat-bottomed glass (or your fingers), smooth out the base by pressing gently to evenly cover the bottom of the pan. Remove and discard the plastic wrap. Bake until the base is slightly firm, 12 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the topping:
  • In the same saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the almonds, candied ginger, honey, salt, and vanilla. Stir just until the ingredients are incorporated.
  • When the base is baked, spread the topping evenly over the base and bake until the topping is dark and sizzling, 12 to 15 minutes. Do not underbake.
  • Transfer the pan to the baking rack to cool. When the dessert is completely cool, remove it from the pan using the overhanging parchment as handles and cut it into 16 even squares.
  • Do Ahead
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
  • Variation:
  • Chestnut Honey Squares: For the base, replace 1 cup (90g) almond meal with 3/4 cup (120 g) unbleached, all-purpose flour and use a strong honey, such as chestnut, in place of the mild honey. For the topping, replace the candied ginger with organic candied orange or lemon peel, cut into tiny cubes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger will give your almonds a more intense flavor than ground ginger.
  • Peel the ginger: Be sure to peel the ginger before grating it. The skin can be tough and bitter.
  • Grate the ginger finely: This will help the ginger flavor evenly coat the almonds.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the almonds from sticking and burning.
  • Stir the almonds constantly: This will help ensure that they cook evenly and don't burn.
  • Don't overcook the almonds: Overcooked almonds will be tough and chewy. Cook them just until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • Let the almonds cool completely before serving: This will allow the glaze to set and harden.

Conclusion:

Ginger glazed almonds are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or addition to salads, trail mixes, and yogurt parfaits. They are also a great way to use up leftover ginger. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this tasty treat. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful snack, give ginger glazed almonds a try!
