Spiced Roasted Almonds

INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
• 1/4 teaspoon allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 3 cups unsalted almonds

PREPARATION

1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
2. In a large non-stick skillet, combine water, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt.
3. Bring mixture to a boil, then add the almonds and vanilla and lower to medium heat.
4. Continue cooking and stirring until water is gone. Sugar will change to a coarse and dry consistency. Keep stirring. Once glaze starts to look shiny, pour onto prepared pan.
5. Break up clumps with a wooden spoon as nuts cool to separate. Let harden and enjoy!
