NUTS, CANDIED NUT & SEED CLUSTERS

By:


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup nuts, raw (we like walnuts and hazelnuts

  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • ½ cup sugar (use maple sugar for a change)
  • 1 tablespoon salt, vanilla salt(*), or other designer flake salt

Method:

Combine nuts and seeds with sugar into a heavy bottom sauté pan; cook over high heat stirring constantly to coat/avoid burning; cook only until sugar starts to dissolve and becomes amber in color; remove to a Silpat or other parchment lined sheet pan; spread out. Some sugar will remain undissolved. While still hot, sprinkle with a little salt.(*) Cool completely before breaking into small bite portions.

(*)To make Vanilla sea salt:  ½ cup coarse sea salt, 1 vanilla bean,  scraped into salt;  stir to combine; cover to reserve.
