Butter and honey carry Jerked Chain deep into two pounds of nuts, then heat cracks them golden
Ingredients
FOR THE NUTS:
- 4 Tablespoons butter, unsalted
- 4 Tablespoons honey
- 1-1/2 Tablespoons Casa M Spice Co® Jerked Chain®
- 2 pounds mixed nuts
Method
-
01
Preheat oven to 300°F
10 minGet your oven dialed in at 300°F — this low, even heat lets the nuts toast gently without burning while the spice settles in.
-
02
Melt butter, honey, and Jerked Chain
3 minCombine butter, honey, and Jerked Chain in a small saucepan over medium heat until fully melted and blended together. This creates your coating base that'll cling to every nut.
-
03
Coat nuts evenly
2 minDump your mixed nuts into a bowl and pour the warm butter mixture over them, then stir thoroughly. You want every nut touching that spiced coating — no dry ones left behind.
-
04
Roast nuts until golden
30 minSpread the nuts in a single layer on a baking pan and roast for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent hot spots and ensure even toasting. You're looking for golden color and that first crack of texture.
-
05
Finish and cool
20 minHit the hot nuts with a light sprinkle of Chain Reaction® if you want extra heat, then spread them out to cool for about 20 minutes. They'll crisp up as they cool and finish the job.
From Mike's Notebook
Don't stir constantly—let the nuts sit 2-3 minutes between tosses so they actually caramelize.
Butter burns before honey crisps, so add the honey in the last 5 minutes only.
Spread hot nuts on parchment immediately after roasting or they'll steam and soften as they cool.
