- 1 Tbsp butter
- 2 Tbsp Crosby’s Fancy Molasses
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp cloves
- Pinch cayenne or a few grinds of black pepper
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 cups raw almonds (or your favourite nut)
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat melt the butter with molasses, sugar, spices and salt.
- Stir to combine and continue to stir until sugar has dissolved.
- When mixture starts to bubble add nuts and stir until well coated.
- Turn nuts onto a parchment lined baking sheet, spread in a single layer, and bake at 300 until nuts are nicely toasted, about 20-30 minutes.
- Stir from time to time while baking and begin testing after 15 minutes or so (you don’t want the nuts to get too brown).
- Cool and break into pieces.
- Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
