Spiced Nuts

I like to cook, bake, etc what I like to make.  I have heard many things about spiced nuts and decided I needed to make them.  I am glad I did.  I can see a future for me and spiced nuts, developing new flavors and ideas.  And being adaptable.  The recipe that follows calls for Allspice.  I remember growing up with Allspice.  But when I went to the grocery store (s-I made an effort to find the correct spice), I couldn't find it.  Finally, I settled for a 21 spice deal found at Trader Joe's.  It worked.

When the nuts, first came out of the oven I tried them. Eww-not a good taste.  But after they cooled, I found a much better flavor and a favorite now at parties.  From "Party Atlanta", available on my Amazon storefront www.amazon.com/stores/oneofakindcookbooks for $9.99.

Spiced Nuts

2 cups of Almonds

1 egg white, beaten with fork

1/4 tsp each nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice

1/2 cup sugar

Mix almonds, spices and sugar together.  Blend in egg white, mixing well.  Spoon onto greased cookie sheet.  Bake in a 375 F. oven for 15 minutes.  Cool and store in airtight container. 

The recipe says that it serves 8.  I divided it in half for 2 different parties and with everything else served, this was plenty.

Happy Cooking!
