Candied Cashews

Kerry made these today and sent me the recipe from the blog "Sweet As A Cookie."  She said she wanted to try a recipe with cashews after making the Cinnamon Sugar Candied Nuts which were made with pecans and almonds. After making them she said that "I need to make them for Dad."  So, that's what I will do this weekend as his favorite nuts are cashews and he will love the sweetness and crunch of them.  Kerry said they were "amazing."

1 large egg white
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 cups whole raw cashews (unsalted)

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl beat egg white until stiff.

In another small bowl combine sugar, salt and cinnamon.

Add your cashews to the stiff egg whites and toss to coat.

Once coated, add in your sugar mixture and mix until evenly coated.

Spread out the cashews evenly onto the parchment paper.

Bake for 15 minutes and turn cashews over (to bake evenly).   Bake for another 15 minutes.

Let nuts cool on the pan.
