Caramelized Nuts with Musoffa Honey and Chile Piquin

CARAMELIZED NUTS WITH HONEY AND CHILE PIQUIN

YIELD: Makes 8 servings

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup - honey
3 cups - mixed nuts, plain
1 T - butter
1 tsp. - sea salt
1 tsp. - chile piquin or cayenne pepper, powdered

DIRECTIONS

Heat honey and butter in a pot over low flame, stirring with a spatula until blended. Add the chile piquin and the salt. For best results, use a thick-based pot so that the heat distributes evenly.

Add nuts into pot, stirring every so often to make sure that the honey covers them completely. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, making sure to leave enough space between them so that they don't stick together. Let stand until cool.

Heat the oven to 250°F and bake the nuts for 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven. Let stand until cool and serve.
