Cinnamon Nuts
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 cups walnuts, almonds or pecans
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons sugar
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
Instructions
First toast the nuts a bit in a skillet, keep them tossing or they'll burn. Remove them from the skillet. Melt the butter in the skillet, stir in the nuts and the 1/2 cup sugar, stirring occasionally, until the sugar melts (5-10 minutes). In a large bowl, mix your spices and remaining sugar. Stir in the nuts. Spread on wax paper: cool about 20 minutes (Stay out of them!, Well, maybe just one) Break them up a bit. Store in zip locks or tightly covered container.
