Spiced Nuts

These are a big hit every time I make them. Originally intended as a salad fixing, to add that much need crunch to your salad and just the right amount of sweet heat. They make a great snack though too.

Ingredients:

• 250g nuts (whatever kind you like - I do a mix with various seeds)

• 1 egg white

• 1 Tbls honey

• 2 Tbls sugar (I like to use light muscovado)

• 1 tsp cayenne

• ½ tsp black pepper

• ½ tsp salt

Method:

• Mix everything, except the nuts, into a runny paste.

• Add the nuts and mix until coated.

• Spread out on a baking sheet/baking paper and bake for approx 20 mins on Gas 5/6.

• Scoot them about around 10 mins into baking, so they toast evenly.

• Remove from oven and leave to cool, adding more salt to taste.

• Jar or bag up the cooled nuts. (If there are any! They taste amazing hot from the oven). They keep well for a week in an airtight container, and would possibly be ok for far longer, but they've never survived passing snackers for longer than that here, so I've no idea.
