Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 12 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 cup pecans, cashews, walnuts, or mixture, toasted*
Preparation:
Combine sugar, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, butter, vanilla and water
in saucepan. Cook stirring constantly, until a small amount dropped into
cold water forms a soft ball, about 236° on a candy thermometer. Stir in toasted nuts. Remove from heat and
stir until no longer glossy. Pour into buttered baking sheet and spread
thinly. Cool, and break into pieces.
*To toast nuts, spread out in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast in a 350° oven, stirring occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes. Or, toast in an ungreased skillet over medium heat, stirring, until golden brown and aromatic.
