3 Servings

Ingredients

  • 3 cups assorted nuts hazelnuts, almonds, pine, macadamia, pecans, pistachios, walnuts
  • 2 dried chipotle chilies
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne or more to taste

Instructions

  • Spread shelled nuts (except macadamias) in a single layer on a baking pan.
  • Bake in a 350, stirring often, until golden.
  • Allow 5 to 7 minutes for pine nuts; 8 to 10 minutes for pecans, pistachios, and walnuts; about 15 minutes for almonds and hazelnuts.
  • Macadamias need lower heat because they scorch very easily; roast them at 300 for about 20 minutes.
  • Watch nuts carefully since they brown quickly.
  • For more toasted flavor, bake nuts to a darker color.
  • Remove and discard chili stems.
  • Whirl the chilies, with seeds, in a blender or food processor until finely ground.
  • In a bowl, mix ground chilies, honey, sugar, oil, salt and cayenne.
  • Add nuts and stir until coated with seasonings.
  • Pour nuts onto oiled 15 x 10-inch pan; shake into 1 layer.
  • Bake in 300 oven, stirring often, until golden brown (under skins, if not blanched) and honey mixture hardens, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • If necessary, push nuts apart; cool in pan.
