How to Make Sugar And Spice Candied Nuts
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Position oven rack in the middle.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease with butter.
- In a 1 ½- to 2-quart heavy saucepan, combine 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup light corn syrup, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger, 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Add 4 cups mixed nuts (pecans, walnuts, almonds, etc.) to the saucepan. Cook, stirring constantly, for exactly 3 minutes.
- Immediately spread the nuts in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, separating any clumps.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, stirring once halfway through with a heatproof rubber spatula, until golden brown and bubbling.
- Let cool completely on the baking sheet on a wire rack for at least 45 minutes. Once cool, break into smaller clusters by hand.
