These seasoned mixed nuts make great hostess gifts; or just tuck some in with a Christmas present. I often add another teaspoon of cardamom, a flavor we enjoy!Judi Oudekerk, Buffalo, Minnesota Ingredients:
1/4 cup butter, cubed |
1/2 cup plus 3 tablespoons sugar, divided |
2 teaspoons ground cardamom |
1 cup salted cashews |
1 cup salted peanuts |
1 cup pecan halves |
Directions:
1. In a large heavy skillet, melt butter. Add 1/2 cup sugar; cook and stir over high heat until sugar is dissolved. Meanwhile, place cardamom and remaining sugar in a large bowl; set aside.
2. Reduce heat to medium; add the cashews, peanuts and pecans to butter mixture. Cook and stir until nuts are toasted, about 3 minutes. Add hot nuts to reserved cardamom mixture; toss to coat. Spread on foil to cool. Yield: 3-1/2 cups.
