You have my lovely friend Kirsty to thank for this.
I visited her a few days ago and got presented with a bag of nuts. OMG!! These were one of the most delicious things I have ever eaten. It was like eating the smell of Christmas. They didn’t last very long in our house, so there was only one thing for it…to make our own. I then thought these would be really nice to give to friends and family, just as Kirsty has done. I thought it only fair, seeing as I can’t give you all a bag of Christmas nuts, that I could at least share this yummy recipe with you. So here you go.
I decided to make up alot. I bought 1200g of nuts. This made me 8 bags of nuts to give out and a decent size tin for ourselves to keep. You can just adapt the quantities for the amount you want to make. I shall give you the amount for 600g of nuts. Then you can double like I did if you want to make more, or half if you want to make less.
I bought my nuts in Lidl. They were reasonably priced. They come in bags of 200g. £2.39 for Pecans and £1.72 for the Cashews. I bought 3 of each.
Start by mixing up the nuts first in a bowl.
You will need:
600g nuts
2 egg whites whisked
2 tblsp water
1 cup caster sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 tsp cinnamon (or pumpkin spice)
