Honey-Kissed Nut Medley: Irresistible Blend of Nuts
A Tempting Blend of Almonds, Pistachios, Walnuts, and Hazelnuts
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup Nutly Raw natural almonds
- ¼ cup Nutly Raw pistachios
- ¼ cup Nutly Raw walnuts
- ¼ cup Nutly raw natural hazelnuts
- 1 cup honey
Instructions:
Start by ensuring that the nuts are clean and free from any debris. You can rinse them with water and pat them dry if necessary.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread the almonds, pistachios, walnuts, and hazelnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Toast the nuts in the preheated oven for about 8-10 minutes until they become fragrant and slightly golden. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Once toasted, remove the nuts from the oven and let them cool completely.
In a clean and dry container with an airtight seal, layer the toasted nuts, alternating between the different varieties to ensure a nice mix.
Pour the honey over the layered nuts, making sure they are completely submerged. The honey acts as a natural preservative and adds sweetness to the nuts.
Close the container tightly to seal in the flavors and preserve the freshness. Store it in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Let the nuts sit in the honey for at least a week to allow the flavors to meld together. During this time, the nuts will absorb some of the honey, becoming softer and more flavorful.
After the initial week, you can enjoy the honey-coated nuts as a snack or use them in various recipes. The mixture can be stored for several months, as long as it is kept in a sealed container.
Remember to label the container with the date you prepared the mixture, so you can keep track of its freshness.
Enjoy your delicious honey-coated nut mixture!
