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.
SUGAR AND SPICE CANDIED NUTS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Mix sugars, salt, cayenne, and cinnamon, making sure there are no lumps; set aside. Beat egg white until frothy but not stiff. Add nuts, and stir to coat evenly. Sprinkle nuts with sugar mixture, and toss until evenly coated. Spread sugared nuts in a single layer on a cookie sheet fitted with parchment paper. Bake for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from oven, and separate nuts as they cool. When completely cool, pour the nuts into a bowl, breaking up any that stick together.
Tips:
- Choose the right nuts: For this recipe, pecans, walnuts, almonds, and hazelnuts work well. You can also use a mix of different nuts.
- Use fresh spices: Freshly ground spices will give your candied nuts the best flavor. If you don't have freshly ground spices, you can use store-bought ground spices, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're roasting the nuts, be sure to spread them out in a single layer on the baking sheet. If you overcrowd the pan, the nuts will steam instead of roast and they won't be as crispy.
- Watch the nuts carefully: Candied nuts can burn easily, so it's important to watch them closely while they're roasting. Stir them frequently to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Let the nuts cool completely: Before you store the candied nuts, be sure to let them cool completely. This will help them to crisp up and will also prevent them from sticking together.
Conclusion:
Candied nuts are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed on their own or used as a topping for desserts or salads. They're also a great gift idea for friends and family. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own candied nuts at home. So next time you're looking for a sweet and crunchy snack, give this recipe a try.
