SPICED MIXED NUTS

"You may substitute your favorite nuts and spices for the ones we have suggested."

1 whole cinnamon stick
2 star anise pods
1 whole nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon whole cloves
1 1/2 cups pecans
1 cup almonds
1 1/2 cups walnuts
1 3 cup light brown sugar
1 1/4 teaspoons table salt
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 large egg white, lightly beaten

Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking pan with parchment paper; reserve.

Place the cinnamon, star anise, nutmeg and cloves in the bowl of the Cuisinart Spice & Nut Grinder. Pulse 15 times, and then process until finely ground, about 10 seconds.

Place the nuts, sugar, spices, salt and cayenne in a large bowl; toss to combine. Add the egg white and mix until completely combined. Spread the nut mixture evenly on the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven, tossing every 10 minutes, for about 30 to 35 minutes.

Makes about 4 cups, 16 servings
