To tell the truth, I can't recall where this recipe came from. It's been a regular in my holiday baking, though, for many years. Between Thanksgiving and New Year's, I hand these out to almost everybodyeven the mailman's been known to find a batch in the mailbox! I moved from a big city as a bride. My husband soon persuaded me to enter baked goods at our county fairnow, our son, 8, is my cookie tester, and our daughter, 6, is the egg beater. Ingredients:
3 cups lightly salted mixed nuts |
1 egg white |
1 tablespoon orange juice |
2/3 cup sugar |
1 tablespoon grated orange peel |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice |
Directions:
1. Place nuts in a large bowl. In a small bowl, beat egg white and orange juice with a fork until foamy. Add the sugar, orange peel, cinnamon, ginger and allspice; mix well. Pour over nuts and stir to coat.
2. Spread into an ungreased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake at 275° for 45-50 minutes or until nuts are crisp and lightly browned, stirring every 15 minutes.
3. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 4 cups.
