Source of Recipe


Southwest


List of Ingredients




½ cup sugar
½ cup water
1¼ pounds raw cashews
¼ cup diced, cooked bacon
half of the bacon fat from cooking
1 tablespoon cold butter
smoked salt


Recipe



Combine sugar and water in a saucepan and heat until boiling. Add the cashews, and stir continuously. Use a pastry brush dipped in water to occasionally wipe the inside of the pot. When the water evaporates and the sugar is caramelized, stir in the bacon. Turn off the heat, and add the bacon fat and butter, and smoked salt to taste. Transfer to a greased cookie sheet to cool, then break apart.
