One way to infuse your home with the festive spirit is through the delicious aromas of traditional Swedish Christmas baking. Today, we’re diving into a classic recipe that never fails to bring comfort and joy – Nötter Med Honung, or Honey Coated Nuts.

Nötter Med Honung, with its combination of crunchy nuts and sweet honey, is a delightful treat that perfectly encapsulates the flavors of the season. Whether you’re planning a cozy night in by the fireplace or looking for a thoughtful homemade gift for loved ones, these honey coated nuts are sure to be a hit.

Ingredients:
– 2 cups mixed nuts (such as almonds, walnuts, and pecans)
– 1/4 cup honey
– 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– Pinch of salt

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.

2. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the honey, butter, cinnamon, and salt. Stir the mixture occasionally until the butter is melted and the ingredients are well combined.

3. Add the mixed nuts to the saucepan, stirring to coat them evenly with the honey mixture. Allow the nuts to cook for about 3-5 minutes, or until they are slightly caramelized and fragrant.

4. Transfer the honey-coated nuts to the prepared baking sheet, spreading them out in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even roasting.

5. Keep a close eye on the nuts as they bake, making sure they don’t burn. They should turn a golden brown color and give off a wonderful aroma when ready. Remove from the oven and let them cool completely on the baking sheet.

6. Once the honey coated nuts have cooled, break them apart and transfer to an airtight container for storage. These delicious treats can be enjoyed on their own as a snack or used to add a festive touch to salads, desserts, or cheese platters.

Enjoy the delightful flavors and textures of these Nötter Med Honung, a perfect balance of sweetness and crunch that will surely become a holiday favorite in your home.
