Coconut Curry Cashews - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon curry powder
3/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon honey
coarse salt
2 cups unsalted roasted cashews (9 ounces)
1/2 cup large unsweetened flaked coconut

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in curry powder, and cook until toasted, about 1 minute.
Stir in sugar, water, honey, and 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. (Mixture will resemble wet sand.)
Add cashews, and toss to coat using a heat-proof rubber spatula.
Transfer cashew mixture to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and spread into a single layer using rubber spatula.
Bake for 15 minutes.
Remove from oven, stir, and sprinkle with coconut.
Bake until cashews and coconut are golden, 6 to 7 minutes more.
Transfer sheet to a wire rack. Stir nuts, and let stand until cool and hardened, about 30 minutes.
