I got a small coffee grinder for grinding whole spices.
I made several batches of spiced nuts fron the recipe below to give to my
colleagues at work. I discovered that you have to cook them over medium
heat, or the sugar caramelizes and you get spiced nut brittle instead. Both
versions taste great, however. I also discoverd that you should not cook
them in a cast iron frying pan, because they sugar syrup turns black and you
get dingy gray nuts.
Sugared Nuts
4 cups nuts
2 cups sugar
1 cup water
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
Mix ingredients in heavy skillet. Cook until water disappears and nuts have
a sugary appearance. Remove from heat and pour nuts onto a baking sheet.
Separate quickly with 2 forks.
