Sweet & Spicy Cherry Walnut Mix (makes 1 cup)

Your Ingredients:

1 cup walnuts (unsalted)
1 cup dried tart cherries
1 tbsp light corn syrup
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp sugar
1 tsp salt
2 tsp cayenne
1 tsp tabasco

PREHEAT oven to 325°F.

COVER baking sheet with a Silpat baking mat (excellent nonstick capability). If you don’t have a Silpat mat, just spray the sheet with nonstick cooking spray.

COMBINE all ingredients in a bowl EXCEPT dried cherries and toss walnuts until well coated.

SPREAD the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.

BAKE until the walnuts turn golden brown (stirring occasionally), about 15 minutes.

REMOVE from oven and add cherries immediately. Break up any clumps while making sure that cherries are distributed throughout mixture.

COOL completely on baking sheet.

STORE what you haven’t eaten up in an airtight container!

Always Enjoy!
