Sherried Cinnamon Nuts
Ingredients:
– 1 pound mixed nuts (such as almonds, cashews, and pecans)
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar
– 2 tablespoons sherry
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the mixed nuts, sugar, sherry, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg. Toss everything together until the nuts are evenly coated with the mixture.
3. Spread the nuts out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the nuts are golden brown and fragrant.
5. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the nuts cool completely on the sheet. They will crisp up as they cool.
6. Once cooled, transfer the nuts to an airtight container or serving dish. They can be stored at room temperature for up to two weeks – if they last that long without being devoured!
These Sherried Cinnamon Nuts make a delightful addition to cheese platters, charcuterie boards, or even as a standalone snack. You can also package them in pretty jars or bags to give as homemade gifts – they’re guaranteed to be a hit!
