I make this out-of-this-world tasting homemade nut mixture every Christmas season... no matter how much I make, they never last long, I'll be lucky if they even make it to the table.... so my advice to you, is make lots and lots, then hide some for your guests. Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter |
3 cups walnuts or 3 cups almonds or 3 cups pecans (mixed) |
1/2 cup sugar |
3 tablespoons sugar |
1 tablespoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ginger |
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg |
Directions:
1. In a skillet, toast nuts slightly, tossing then so they won't burn.
2. Remove from skillet.
3. Melt butter in the same skillet.
4. Stir in the nuts and the 1/2 cup sugar, stirring occasionally, until sugar melts (about 5-10 mins).
5. In a large bowl, mix the spices and remaining 3 Tbsp sugar.
6. Stir in the nuts.
7. Spread on waxed paper; cool about 20 mins.
8. Break them apart.
9. Store in covered containers.
