Glazed, candied, and honeyed nuts are a delicious and ultra healthy pantry staple. A perfect way to dress up a salad, awesome added to yogurt, mix with cooked grains, especiaaly toasted rolled oats for instant gourmet Om Granola, or as a fab stand alone snack.
Pricey, and often made with corn syrup, when purchased commercially, but ultra EZ to make yourself.
Glazed nuts can be made with multiple ingredients, and multiple steps.
Shown here are glazed nuts at their quickest, simplest, and only slightly sweet.

Begin by toasting nuts on low heat for aprox 5 minutes.

Any combination of nuts and seeds can be used.

Shown: chopped almonds, walnuts,
pecans, and poppy seed

Remove toasted nuts from saute pan.
Add 1 TB of sugar per cup of nuts.
Allow sugar to melt,
aprox 4 minutes on low to medium heat

Sea salt can be added at this stage, as well as citrus zest (shown), fresh ginger zest (shown), ground Cinnamon, Vanilla bean or extract, , cardamom, or any herb, spice or extract.

When sugar is melted,
add 1TB of honey and 2TB of water,
cook 1 minute

Add nuts to bubbling sugar/honey syrup,
turn off heat,
and stir to coat nuts thoroughly.

Allow to cool, and store in a covered container.
Glass canning jars or perfect, but last weeks pasta sauce jar works equally well.

Breakfast of Yogis

Yogurt, fruit, nuts and toasted rolled oats or barley is fast, filling and good for you on multiple levels. Skip the yogurts with fruit added, in order to add the fruit they are also adding preservatives and other things you really don't need, mixing up your own yogurt is sooo easy, try it once and you will never go back to the pre-mixed nonsense.

BTW: yogurt is the breakfast of American Yogis. India's traditional breakfast is more likely to be a delicious, and ultra nutritious, dahl










Below are all the ingredients you need for a fabulous yogurt, and all available at Ralph's, and the farmers markets for the best fruit and nuts.
