These sweet treats are easy to make with SMUCKER'S® Strawberry Jelly. They make a great snack or gift idea. Ingredients:
2 teaspoons crisco® all-vegetable oil |
8 cups salted mixed nuts |
1 1/3 cups smucker's® strawberry jelly |
4 tablespoons paprika |
4 teaspoons cumin |
coating |
1 cup brown sugar |
2 teaspoons paprika |
2 teaspoons cumin |
Directions:
1. Combine oil and nuts in a medium bowl; set aside.
2. In a small saucepan, melt SMUCKER'S® jelly over medium heat. Add paprika and cumin. Cook the mixture to the hard ball stage, 260 degrees F measured on a candy thermometer (or you can test for the hard ball stage by dropping a teaspoon of the mixture into a glass of iced water; the mixture will harden instantly if it has reached the proper temperature).
3. Immediately pour the mixture over the nuts. Stir with a wooden spoon to evenly coat the nut mixture. Cool for five minutes. Combine brown sugar, paprika and cumin in a small bowl. Once cool enough to handle, sprinkle nuts with the brown sugar mixture. Stir to combine.
4. Let cool completely, then pack into decorative, airtight tins.
