Spiced Nuts

SERVES Serves 40 (Makes about 10 cups)

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

Since snacks like spiced nuts make great holiday gifts, we wanted to get the recipe just right. We mixed the nuts with egg whites, then let the excess liquid drain away. We then tossed the nuts with the spice mixture. This technique created a cohesive, delicious shell around each nut, and gave us a spiced nuts recipe that we’ll gladly prepare for future holidays.

INGREDIENTS

2 large egg whites

2 tablespoons water

2 teaspoons salt

2 pounds unsalted raw pecans, cashews, walnuts, or whole unblanched almonds

1 ⅓ cups sugar

4 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 teaspoons ginger

2 teaspoons coriander

note: BEFORE YOU BEGIN

The nuts can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 weeks. Do not use salted nuts. Recipe can easily be halved.
