Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mixed nuts (almonds, cashews, pecans, walnuts, or any mix you prefer)
- 0.5 cups Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, finely grated
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Spread the mixed nuts evenly on the prepared baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, stirring halfway through. Keep an eye on them to avoid burning. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, honey, finely grated ginger, butter, ground cinnamon, salt, and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently until the mixture comes to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until it thickens slightly and forms a smooth glaze.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the roasted nuts to the saucepan. Stir thoroughly to coat the nuts evenly in the ginger glaze.
Spread the glazed nuts in a single layer back onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow them to cool completely at room temperature. As they cool, the glaze will harden and stick to the nuts.
Once cooled, break apart any large clusters, transfer the nuts to an airtight container, and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
