Maple-Allspice Beer Nuts - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup maple syrup
2 teaspoons allspice
5 cups unsalted dry roasted peanuts

Preparation

Preheat oven to 300\u00b0F.
Place peanuts into a large bowl.
Pour maple syrup and allspice into a small saucepan and place over medium-high heat.
Bring to a simmer and turn off heat and let cool slightly.
Pour warm maple syrup mixture over peanuts in the bowl and stir with a wooden spoon to coat peanuts thoroughly.
With a slotted spoon scoop peanuts from bowl and place into sieve and partially drain over the bowl while transferring peanuts onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
Repeat process until the baking sheet is full of nuts.
Place any extra nuts on a second baking sheet.
Place baking sheet (s) in the oven and roast for 25-30 minutes or until mixture has darkened in colour.
Be careful to watch that the nuts don't burn- the maple syrup will caramelize and burn easily, so it must be checked frequently.
Pull the nuts from the oven and transfer onto a single layer of parchment on a counter and let cool.
With a metal spatula, loosen the nuts from the paper and store in a fun bowl for eating right way or in an airtight container if making in advance.
