Recipe Introduction


You can add other ingredients for flavor variations. Mix in 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon to the pan for cinnamon flavored nuts. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the pan for vanilla nuts.



List of Ingredients




2 tablespoons water
1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups nuts (not roasted)


Recipe



Bring 2 tablespoons water and 1/4 cup sugar to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

When the sugar has dissolved, add the nuts. Stir occasionally to coat the nuts. At about the 2-minute mark, stir vigorously. In about a minute, the water will evaporate and the sugar will crystallize on the nuts. Turn off heat immediately when all of the sugar has crystallized on the nuts, but keep stirring. The sugar should begin to caramelize and turn light brown on the nuts. Pour nuts onto a plate to cool.

Makes 1 1/2 cups.
