Sweet and Spicy Nuts recipe

16 servings

2 cups mixed nuts

1 1/2 tablespoons white sugar

2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon curry powder

1 pinch ground cloves

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

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

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.

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

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.
