Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 3 tablespoons crystallized ginger
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup dried apricots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roughly chop the crystallized ginger into small pieces. Halve or quarter the dried apricots, depending on their size.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the honey, ground ginger, cinnamon, and sea salt, stirring until well combined and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Add the almonds to the saucepan, tossing to coat them with the glaze evenly.
Pour the glazed almonds onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them into a single layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the almonds are golden and fragrant.
Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for 5-7 minutes.
Transfer the almonds to a mixing bowl and toss them with the chopped crystallized ginger, dried cranberries, and dried apricots until evenly distributed.
Allow the mixture to cool completely. Once cooled, store the Ginger Glazed Almonds with Dried Fruit in an airtight container for up to one week.
