Ingredients

  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 4 cups unsalted mixed nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, and almonds
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • Mix spices and reserve.

Directions

Heat the nuts in a dry skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until they begin to toast, about 4 minutes. Add the butter and cook, stirring, until the nuts begin to darken, about 1 minute. Add the spices, the sugar, 1 tablespoon water, and the salt and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens and the nuts are glazed, about 5 minutes.

Remove the nuts from the heat and transfer to a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil, separating them with a fork. Let the nuts stand until cooled and the sugar has hardened, about 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container.

    I left out the cumin. I used pecans, walnuts. peanuts. pistachios, almonds. Made a huge batch and gave with Christmas presents. Everyone loves them.

    Well, I don't know what I did wrong, but I'm not very happy with the results. I'm a very experienced cook ... I followed the recipe EXACTLY, and the cooking looked as the recipe described, but they came out swimming in butter! I tried cooking them further in a 375-degree oven for 10 minutes, but they're pretty charred. Any pointers on what I may have done wrong?? The flavoring is quite nice, just can't get the sugar-coated crispness I expected!

    My husband made these spiced nuts using only almonds for Thanksgiving and everyone loved them so much he needed to make a second batch.
