Roasted Cinnamon Sugar Candied Nuts Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Grease one baking sheet.
• In a mixing bowl, whip together the egg white and water until frothy. In a separate bowl, mix together sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
• Add pecans to egg whites, stir to coat the nuts evenly. Remove the nuts, and toss them in the sugar mixture until coated. Spread the nuts out on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake at 250 degrees F (120 degrees C) for 1 hour. Stir every 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Spread the walnuts out on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 5 minutes. Let cool, then transfer to a bowl. Lightly coat the aluminum foil with canola oil.
• In a second bowl, combine the corn syrup, maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnamon and salt. Stir to combine, breaking up any lumps of cinnamon. Add the walnuts and toss to coat thoroughly. Pour the walnuts onto the oiled baking sheet.
• Bake, stirring occasionally, until the walnuts are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Sprinkle over desserts, or serve with cheese or as a snack.

Steps:

• If your nuts are salted, rinse them well, pat dry and place on a cookie sheet in a single layer in a warm (200F) oven. Turn oven OFF and leave to dry overnight. They must be totally dry before proceeding with the recipe. Otherwise, you'll have rubbery nuts.
• Whisk together water, sugar, vanilla and spices in a nonstick dutch oven.
• Cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. It will form a syrup.
• Cook syrup until it spins a thread from end of spoon when spoon is lifted (about 6 - 7 minutes).
• Add the nuts. Stir to coat nuts with syrup. The nuts will clump together in a mass.
• Stir constantly until syrup evaporates and sugar crystallizes on the nut, about 10 minutes. Do not turn up the heat to try to speed it up - you'll just burn it. Keep stirring, they will begin to dry out and will separate.
• Pour out onto a wax paper lined baking sheet. Allow to cool completely. Store in zip top freezer bag.
• To clean the pan: Allow the pan to cool, then add cold water and bring to a boil. Cover and let simmer 10 minutes.
