Changes: Spiced Nuts

Latest revision as of 20:58, 20 November 2010

Description

This is a family favorite and so easy to make. I always use pecans. For years I have filled some type of small container and given for gifts.

Ingredients

½ cup dark brown sugar, firmly packed
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground allspice
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1½ tbsp water
1½ cup pecan halves, walnut halves, cashews or a combination

Directions

In a deep, 2-quart, heat-resistant, non-metallic casserole, combine first 7 ingredients
Heat, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 1½ minutes; stir occasionally.
Add ½ cup nuts at a time to syrup mixture. Stir until well coated.
With a slotted spoon lift out nuts; drain extra syrup.
Place nuts in a shallow, 1½-quart, heat-resistant, non-metalic baking dish.
Repeat with remaining nuts.
Heat coated nuts, uncovered, in Microwave Oven 5 minutes or until syrup begins to harden slightly.
Transfer nuts to wax paper and allow to cool and harden.
