Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup hazelnuts (2 ounces)
1/2 cup blanched almonds (2 ounces)
1/2 cup unsalted roasted cashews (2 ounces)
1/2 cup whole pecans (2 ounces)
1/2 cup whole walnuts (2 ounces)
Vegetable oil for greasing foil
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Toast hazelnuts in a shallow baking pan until fragrant and a shade darker, about 8 minutes.
  • When hazelnuts are cool enough to handle, wrap in a kitchen towel and rub to remove skins. (Not all skins will come off.) Transfer hazelnuts to a large bowl with almonds, cashews, pecans, and walnuts. Line baking pan with foil and lightly oil.
  • Bring sugar, water, and honey to a boil in a small saucepan over moderate heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Pour over nuts and stir until nuts are well coated. Transfer nuts with a slotted spoon to baking pan (discarding syrup) and roast in 1 layer in middle of oven, stirring and redistributing nuts occasionally, until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Lightly oil another sheet of foil and put on a work surface. Spread nuts in 1 layer on foil and cool completely. Break apart any nuts that are stuck together.
