Sweet And Salty Nuts And Cranberries - cooking recipe

Ingredients

20 ounces whole almonds
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 teaspoons sugar
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning (or substitution listed below)
1 teaspoon sea salt (or other coarse salt)
8 ounces dried sweetened cranberries

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 350\u00b0F.
In a bowl toss the almonds, butter, sugar, and Cajun seasoning (you may substitute 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper for the Cajun seasoning).
Pour the nut mixture onto a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring occasionally until nuts are one shade darker - about 25 minutes. *Note - the time may be less if you are using almonds that are already roasted.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with salt.
Set aside to cool.
When cool toss the nuts with the cranberries.
This will last 1 week at room temperature or 3 weeks in the freezer.
