Lay The Table

Brown sugar & cinnamon cashews and pecans

 Print This Post

These make a perfect bonfire treat, especially when served still warm. My mother always brings me these back from Belgium when she visits as she knows I love them so much. You should eat a handful of nuts and seeds every day, so this is just a tasty way of doing it. I’ll be making some more of these for my Christmas food hampers, wrapped in cellophane with a ribbon.

15mins – Prep time: 5mins – Cooking time: 10mins

Ingredients

• 150g pecan halves
• 150g cashews, unsalted
• 100g golden caster sugar
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

1. Line a large frying pan with foil (this saves on washing up!)
2. Put the cinammon and the sugar in the pan and heat until it just starts to melt.
3. Add the pecans and cashews and stir to ensure even distribution. Cook until nuts have browned a little.
4. Remove foil with nuts from the pan and allow to cool a little. Then tip onto a plate to prevent the nuts sticking to the foil
