Servings: 5
Preparation duration: 5 minutes
Cooking duration: 30 minutes
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups dried fruit (I used 3/4 cup each dried cranberries and dried cherries)
1 egg white from a large egg, whisked to frothy
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed (light or dark is fine)
3 cups nuts (I used 1 cup each of pecans, cashews, and almonds. All were raw and unsalted)
1 1/2 cups baking chips (I used 3/4 cup each semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips)
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional and to taste
1 tablespoon water
Equipment:
baking sheet
whisk
bowl
oven
baking pan
Cooking instruction summary:
Preheat oven to 300F. Line a baking sheet with a Silpatorparchment paper. Don't skip lining your baking sheet; set aside. To a large bowl, add the nuts; set aside. I recommend using raw, unsalted nuts but if you can't find them, previously roasted/salted will likely work but monitor baking time and optional salt level. In a small bowl, add the egg white, water, and whisk vigorously until very frothy, foamy, and bubbly, about 2 minutes by hand. Pour egg mixture over thenuts and stir to coat. Add the sugars, cinnamon, optional salt, andstir very well to coat evenly. Turn nuts out onto to prepared baking sheet, spreading them in an even flat layer. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing once midway through (I baked 28 minutes); don't overbake or nuts can burn. Coating may appear bubbly, possibly a bitrunny and loosein the center of tray even when nuts are ready to be pulled from oven, but firms up dramatically as nuts cool. Use your judgment and let your nose and eyes be your guide to doneness. Allow nuts to cool on baking tray for at least 2 hours. Ideally, leave nuts on baking tray and exposed overnight as it helps them get extra crispy and crunchy. When nuts are cooled completely, sprinkle the dried fruit and bakingchips over nuts. Use your hands to break apart large clusters and disperse fruit and bakingchips throughout. Transfer mix to airtight containers, jars, or baggies. Mixwill keep airtight at room temperature for at least 1 month. Adapted fromSweet with Heat Cinnamon Sugar Candied NutsandCinnamon Sugar Candied Cashews
