Sugared Nuts

Ingredients:

• 1 pound walnut pieces

• ½ cup confectioners’ sugar

• 1/4 tsp. ground allspice
• 1/8 tsp. ground cloves

Directions:

2. Cover, and slow-cook on high for 15 minutes.
3. Reduce the heat to low and slow-cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the nuts are coated with a crisp glaze, about 2 hours.
4. Transfer the nuts to a serving bowl.
5. In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon, ginger, allspice and cloves.
6. Sift the spices over the nuts, stirring to coat evenly. Cool the nuts completely before serving.
