Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup raw almonds
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup pecan halves
- 0.25 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup dried apricots (chopped)
- 0.25 cup raisins
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and butter. Stir occasionally until the butter has melted, and the mixture is smooth.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the cinnamon, sea salt, and vanilla extract until evenly combined.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almonds, cashews, and pecans. Pour the honey mixture over the nuts and toss until they are fully coated.
Spread the coated nuts in an even layer across the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the nuts are golden and fragrant. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Remove the nuts from the oven and allow them to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will continue to crisp as they cool.
Once the nuts are cool, transfer them to a large mixing bowl and add the dried cranberries, chopped dried apricots, and raisins. Mix well to combine.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week to maintain freshness.
