Spicy, Sweet & Salty Rosemary Nuts
- makes 2 cups
- 2 cups unsalted mixed nuts, such as almonds, cashews, and walnuts
- 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
- kosher salt
- Toast nuts in a skillet over moderately low heat until fragrant. Drop in butter to melt, and toss and cook nuts in butter for a few minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, stir together the sugars, cayenne, and rosemary. Sprinkle sugar mixture evenly over nuts and continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sugar caramelizes. Transfer nuts to a cookie sheet, spread in single layer and sprinkle with kosher salt. Once nuts have cooled, break apart the clusters and serve with super dirty martinis and champagne cocktails. Now that's the holiday spirit.
