Honey Roasted Curried Nuts

These are fabulous.  I made them for one of our get togethers this year and they were gone!  Not a bad idea for a give away at Christmas either.  From Food and Drink Magazine Early Summer 2011

1/2 cup honey
2 tbsp butter
1 tbsp garam masala
Generous pinch of cayenne pepper
4 cups salted mixed nuts
1 tsp Kosher salt


  1. Preheat oven to 325F.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.  Place honey and butter in a large frying pan and set over medium heat.  Cook until butter has melted and mixture is bubbling.  Then continue to cook, stirring occasionally, 2 to 3 more minutes until it starts to turn a caramel colour.  Remove from heat.  Add garam masala and cayenne pepper, then nuts.  Stir until nuts are well coated.
  3. Spread on baking sheet in a single layer.  Bake until nuts are toasted, about 15 minutes.  Cool slightly, then toss with salt.  Taste and add additional salt to taste, if desired.  Cool completely, stirring occasionally to break nuts into clumps.
Makes 5 cups.\
