Sweet-Hot Glazed Nuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
about 1 tablespoon melted butter or margarine
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 cups shelled unsalted nuts (almonds, walnuts, or pecans, or a combination)

Preparation

In a bowl, mix honey, sugar, 1 tablespoon butter, salt, cayenne and cinnamon. Add nuts and mix well to coat.
Scrape nut mixture into a buttered 9-by-13-inch baking pan and shake to make level.
Bake in 300 degree F oven, shaking pan often, until nuts are golden brown under skins (break a nut to test, if necessary), 20 to 25 minutes.
Scrape nuts onto a buttered 10-by-12-inch piece of foil and let cool about 5 minutes, then break apart.
Serve, or store airtight up to three days. These nuts also freeze well; store in an airtight container or double freezer bag for up to 2 months. Makes a great holiday or hostess gift, presented in a tin or jar tied with a pretty ribbon.
