Ingredients:
1 tablespoon unsalted butter plus additional for greasing parchment |
1/4 cup sugar |
2 tablespoons light corn syrup |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg |
rounded 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt |
2 cups mixed nuts |
Directions:
1. Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly butter parchment.
2. Stir together butter, sugar, corn syrup, spices, and salt in a 1 1/2- to 2-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Add nuts and cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes. Spread nuts in 1 layer on lined baking sheet, separating any clumps. Bake, stirring nuts once with a heatproof rubber (silicone) spatula halfway through baking (keep nuts in 1 layer), until golden and bubbling, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on baking sheet on a rack 45 minutes, then break into small clusters with your hands.
3. Cooks' note: Candied nuts keep in an airtight container at room temperature 1 week.
