Candied Rum Mac Nuts

Candied Rum Macadamia Nuts
INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups whole macadamia nuts, lightly roasted

Spice Mix:

• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon ground cloves
• ¼ teaspoon ground allspice

Rum Glaze:

• 2 tablespoons Kōloa Kaua’i Cacao Rum
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon unsalted butter

METHOD

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• To make the spice mix, place the spices in a small bowl and mix to combine.
• To make the glaze, place the glaze ingredients in a medium-size saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
• Add the macadamia nuts to the saucepan and cook until they are well coated and the pan is almost dry, about 1 minute. Spoon the spice mix over the nuts, 1 tablespoon at a time, until they are well coated.
• Transfer the macadamia nuts to the prepared sheet, separate with your hands or a fork, and let sit until completely dried, at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
