1 pound unsalted mixed nuts (3 cups)
3/4 cup minced candied ginger
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons coarse salt
1/4 teaspoon ground pepper
2 tablespoons sesame seeds
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup water

Steps:

STEP 1 Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, combine nuts, candied ginger, cayenne pepper, salt, pepper, and sesame seeds. In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water over medium-high. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar dissolves, 3 minutes. STEP 2 Pour sugar syrup over nut mixture and toss well to combine. Arrange in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet. Bake until nuts are golden, 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Let cool completely on sheet on a wire rack before breaking into bite-size pieces.
