Muneeza’s Candied Cashews Recipe
This candied cashews recipe is a Medical Medium® friendly sweet treat that will have everyone begging for more!
Ingredients
- 2 Cups cashews
- 1 Cup coconut sugar
- ½ tsp coriander powder
- ½ tsp cinnamon powder
- ¼ tsp all spice
- ½ Cup water
Instructions
- Place cashews and coconut sugar in ½ Cup water and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Mix all spices in a separate bowl.
- Once boiling, lower the heat to a simmer, stirring frequently. As the water evaporates, the sugar crystalizes around the nuts (5-6 minutes).
- Add spices into the pot and mix, trying to evenly coat all nuts. The sugar will eventually caramelize (1-2 minutes).
- Remove from heat and place on parchment paper to cool.
