Base Recipe:
Preheat oven to 325°F (convection will show 300°F).
In a large bowl combine sugar, salt, and the other spices. Follow
above ingredients for your recipe. No red pepper flakes in the
Indian version. Mix well. Set aside.
Warm honey and crushed red pepper flakes (if in that recipe) over
medium heat for 1 minute. Fr Indian verion, just warm honey. Stir
almonds into the frying pan. Make sure all of the nuts are equally
covered in honey. Remove from heat and spread almonds (or mixture
of nuts) in a single layer on to a teflon aluminum foil wrapped
pan. Bake for 18 minutes, remove from oven and let cool for
2 minutes. Mixture is still slightly sticky.
Using spatula place the nuts into the bowl with the sugar, etc.,
and toss carefully to make sure all of the nuts are getting a
coating.
Remove the coated nuts and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet
until the nuts are cooled.
I vaccum seal in jars to keep freshness, but can just be placed
into any container for short term use.
Tested for Xmas 2015. Labelled the flavor of each jar and made a
cloth covering for the mason jar and tied with ribbon.
Fun gift. You have to know the hotness level of the people that
will get this as part of a xmas gift.
