This is a specialty that I make during the holidays. 

Here we go lots of pics

Raw Almonds roasted @ 350 for 10 min



Ingredients:
3 cups almonds
1 cup sugar
1.5 tablespoons Cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt, nutmeg and yes chipotle(optional cayanne would work too)
1/3 cup water




Combine all minus almonds in pan and turn on heat to med-high stir and mix together, then add almonds





Note the change in pan, I highly recommend a high walled pan, not a pot.



Stir, stir stir it will take about 5 minutes to reduce sugar water to syrup to  very thick syrup.

1 min


3 min


5 min



At some point about 5 min in the water will have reduced out and the syrup will start to harden and crystalize, you will see it on the spoon, at this point turn off the heat and continue stirring for about 10 to 20 sec



Dump on wax paper wait about 30 sec and separate.

I usually do glazed walnuts. I have done them with just plain sugar and water, and with cinnamon and cayenne pepper. Everyone always loves them. Might have to try this on out. Thanks.

I made some pecans with just sugar and water, in a salad they are amazing.
