Sugar and Spice Almonds


There are some days where I just yearn for comfort and familiarity. Where I want nothing more than to curl up into a ball in front of the TV and snack.

It's funny how sweet and spice come together so well... It's faintly reminiscent of how all of life's ups and downs come together in a way that is totally unexpected.

You will need:
  • 250g of almonds (or any other raw nuts)
  • 4 tablespoons sugar
  • 4 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice


Boil water and sugar until dissolved into a clear syrup, then add the spices and mix into a well blended paste. Add almonds and stir for 1 minute.

Spread into a single layer on a tray lined with greaseproof paper and toast in a 180C oven for 12 - 15 minutes, then let cool completely.


Break up into clusters and store in an airtight container.
