Ingredients

for 470 g

Nuts
150 g almonds
75 g cashew nuts
75 g pecan nuts
To caramelize
170 g coconut palm sugar
1 tbsp water
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp ginger powder
½ tsp gingerbread spice

How it's done

Nuts

Spread the nuts on a baking tray lined with baking paper.

To bake:

Approx. 30 mins. in the centre of an oven preheated to 140 °C. Remove.

To caramelize

Bring the sugar and water to the boil in a wide pan without stirring. Reduce the heat and simmer, swirling the pan occasionally until a light brown caramel has formed. Add the nuts along with the cinnamon, ginger and gingerbread spice. Reduce the heat again slightly and simmer for approx. 10 mins., stirring occasionally until the water has evaporated and the sugar is dry. Continue to stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar melts again and coats the nuts (approx. 5 mins.). Spread the nuts on a baking tray lined with baking paper, leave to cool.
