Spiced Roasted Almonds

INGREDIENTS:

2 cups granulated sugar

1 cup water

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

1/4 teaspoon allspice

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 teaspoon salt

3 cups unsalted almonds

DIRECTIONS:

Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.

In a large non-stick skillet, combine water, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, ginger, nutmeg, vanilla, and salt.

Bring mixture to a boil, then add the almonds and vanilla and lower to medium heat.

Continue cooking and stirring until water is gone. Sugar will change to a coarse and dry consistency. Keep stirring. Once glaze starts to look shiny, pour onto prepared pan.

Break up clumps with a wooden spoon as nuts cool to separate. Let harden and enjoy!
