Spiced Candied Nuts
Candied Spiced Nuts
This classic recipe happens to have a bit of sentimental value to me as it was something my grandmother made for our Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday get-together. Often times I would eat so many of these before the meal I ruined my appetite. Miss you Grandma!
Ingredients:
1 egg white beaten
1 tbsp water
½ cup white sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp allspice
16oz. nuts (pecans, walnuts or almonds work best)
parchment paper
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350F degrees. In a medium size bowl beat the egg white and water until frothy, toss the nuts in with the mixture and coat thoroughly. In a separate bowl mix the sugar and spices together. Add them to the nut mixture and toss until everything is coated. Spread the mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet and cook for 15-20 minutes until the sugar has caramelized slightly. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, then break apart and serve. These can be made and stored for up to a week ahead of time.
