MAPLE-ALLSPICE BEER NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F.
• Place peanuts into a large bowl.
• Pour maple syrup and allspice into a small saucepan and place over medium-high heat.
• Bring to a simmer and turn off heat and let cool slightly.
• Pour warm maple syrup mixture over peanuts in the bowl and stir with a wooden spoon to coat peanuts thoroughly.
• With a slotted spoon scoop peanuts from bowl and place into sieve and partially drain over the bowl while transferring peanuts onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
• Repeat process until the baking sheet is full of nuts.
• Place any extra nuts on a second baking sheet.
• Place baking sheet (s) in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes or until mixture has darkened in colour.
• Be careful to watch that the nuts don't burn- the maple syrup will caramelize and burn easily, so it must be checked frequently.
• Pull the nuts from the oven and transfer onto a single layer of parchment on a counter and let cool.
• With a metal spatula, loosen the nuts from the paper and store in a fun bowl for eating right way or in an airtight container if making in advance.
