Description
“Spiced nuts are a supremely versatile food gift since they're as much at home being served with cocktails as they are packed into a backpack for a camping trip or brought along on a road trip. Making them from scratch lets you customize the flavors and is a lot more economical than buying tiny yet crazy-expensive bags from a fancy nut shop. The base coating on all of these nuts—a mixture of egg white, water, and salt—coats the nuts evenly, helps the sugar and spices cling tightly, and dries in the oven to a delicately crunchy crust that stores beautifully for several weeks. If you can't find superfine sugar, process granulated sugar in a food processor for 1 minute.”Excerpted with permission from Food Gifts: 150+ Irresistible Recipes for Crafting Personalized Presents by Elle Simone Scott. © 2024 by America's Test Kitchen.
