Spicy Barbecued Cashews

 

1/4 cup corn syrup

2 tablespoons water

2 teaspoons salt, coarse

2 teaspoons cumin, ground

1 teaspoon curry powder

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 pound cashews, raw, unsalted

 

" For a not-so-spicy version, use half the amount of curry powder and cayenne,

Raw, unsalted cashews are available at bulk and health food stores. I like to

give these away in 1/2 cup amounts in little plastic bags tied with attractive

ribbons. Be sure to label them " spicy " . "

In medium saucepan, combine corn syrup with water and spices. Bring to a boil.

Stir in the nuts. Spread on cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil and bake 1

hour at 275F. Stir every 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 20 minutes.

Makes 3 cups.
