Sweet and Spicy Nuts

The first time I made this I had a small tub of raw nuts in my cabinet and didn't know what to do with them. My mom gave me the recipe, and after I made it I couldn't stop eating them. I am not a nut person, but I am totally addicted to these coated nuts. They're perfect for parties and festive occasions!

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pinch ground cloves
• 1 ½ tablespoons white sugar
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
• 2 cups mixed nuts

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C).

Step 2

Place the nuts on a large baking pan and bake in the preheated oven 10 to 12 minutes, taking care they do not burn. Remove from heat and let cool approximately 5 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the white sugar, brown sugar, salt, pepper, cumin, curry powder, cloves and cinnamon.

Step 4

In a large saucepan over medium heat, place the nuts and approximately 1/2 the sugar mixture. When the mixture begins to melt, mix in the remaining mixture. Shake the pan until all the nuts are coated, about 5 minutes. Use a spoon to separate nuts that stick together. Remove from heat and cool on a lightly greased baking sheet or wax paper. Separate the nuts to prevent sticking.
