Maple Spice Nuts image

Found this recipe in November 1996 Family Circle Magazine. I make these for gift baskets during the holidays, I used my Amber Maple syrup and found it was a great additon. The recipe says to allow to cool, but I'll bet you won't be able to resist a few warm from the oven, they are soooo doggone good.

Time 45m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 teaspoons vegetable oil
1/2 lb whole almond, blanched (1 1/2 cups)
1/2 lb pecans (2 cups)
1/2 lb peanuts, roasted unsalted (1 1/2 cups)
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground coriander
3/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4-1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (depending on your taste)
1/4 cup maple syrup

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Heat oil in large skillet (I use cast iron) over high heat. Add almonds; saute, stirring 2 to 3 minutes, until almonds begin to brown. Add pecans; saute 1 minute. Add peanuts; saute 1 minute more.
  • Lower heat to medium-high. Sprinkle nuts with salt, coriander, black pepper and cayenne pepper; toss to coat nuts.
  • Pour maple syrup over nuts, saute until syrup is evaporated and nuts are lightly caramelized, 1 minute. Spoon into 15 x 10 x 1 inch baking pan or cookie sheet.
  • Bake in 350 degree oven, tossing occasionally, for 30 minutes or until no longer sticky. Cool completely.
