How to Make Spiced Cranberry Trail Mix

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter. Stir in 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/4 cup maple syrup until smooth.
  3. Reduce heat to low and stir in 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon curry powder. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  4. Add 1 cup dried cranberries, 1 cup mixed nuts (e.g., pecans, walnuts, almonds), 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds, and 1/4 cup shredded coconut. Stir until all ingredients are evenly coated.
  5. Line a large jelly roll pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly. Spread the trail mix in a single layer.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and crunchy, stirring halfway through. Let cool completely before breaking into pieces and storing.
