Glazed Cashews

It's been way too long since my last post! So sorry. I actually made these awhile ago and lost the picture. But there's still a recipe! These are super easy and taste pretty good! I look forward to experimenting with different flavors. (Maybe add vanilla extract instead of cinnamon?) Let me know if you come up with a good combo!


Ingredients:

1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
1 cup nut of your choice (We had cashews, original recipe called for almonds. Original called for raw nuts, but mine happened to be pre-salted. I think most anything works for this)


Directions:

1. Combine water and sugar in a small skillet. Place over high heat and stir with a wooden spoon until it comes to a boil.
2. Add nuts and reduce to medium heat. Keep stirring. (It will foam and stuff) I added the cinnamon somewhere in this process. Original said to do so at the beginning with the sugar, feel free to experiment.
3. When the nuts begin to caramelize and the water is mostly evaporated, remove from heat and turn nuts onto an ungreased baking sheet. Separate using forks and cool. Store airtight.

Thanks to Melinda Lee for the recipe, halved and modified from hers.
