The food industry is finally taking advantage of a phenomenon we
have been aware of for aeons - flavored roasted nuts are YUMMY!
You can now find a plethora of commercially packaged nuts to suit
every mood - vanilla, BBQ, caramel, honey-jalapeno, what have you.
But we suggest making your own, fresh and flavored with your choice
of ingredients. Besides, there's nothing like the aroma of nuts slowly 
roasting in the oven to tempt your olfactories, and after you're done 
sniffing and start to munch, your taste buds will stand up and cheer. 
Eat these warm, or package them in attractive containers for gifts.
Here's nuts to you!



Cinnamon Glazed Almonds

2/3 (1 1/3 sticks) cup butter 
4 egg whites, at room temperature 
pinch of salt 
2 cups sugar 
6 cups whole natural almonds 
2 1/2 TBSP. cinnamon 

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

Place butter on 15 1/2" x 10 1/2" jelly roll pan 
or cookie sheet. A jelly roll pan with low sides 
is more convenient - the nuts won't slide off!

Put in oven to melt butter, about 7 minutes.
Meanwhile, beat egg whites with salt until frothy. 
Gradually add sugar, beating to stiff peaks.
Gently fold in almonds and cinnamon.

Pour almond mixture onto jellyroll pan and 
mix well with the melted butter.
Bake about 40 minutes, turning every 10 minutes, 
until almonds are crisp.

Store cooled almonds in airtight containers 
up to a month. 


This is another one of those wonderful recipes that
you can really play with - use different nuts, spicing
or spice combinations to create your own unique result.
