Salted Caramel Cashews Recipe
It may be the middle of July, but this recipe is inspired by the Christmastimes of my youth. Growing up, each Christmas morning we would awake to an array of fresh fruit and nuts on the table – perfect for young children too distracted by Santa. Of this spread, my favourite was always the honey-roasted cashews. However, as an adult, I thought these could do with a wee makeover, and transform them into my salted caramel cashews.
My salted caramel cashews are a hit with everyone who has tried them. I love using them to fill out gift hampers at Christmas, or sweet treats at parties. After all, who doesn’t love salted caramel? Especially when you have a recipe as easy as this!
Spiced and flavoured nuts are an absolutely easy treat for hampers, gifts and parties. They never take long to make, and are incredibly easy to prepare. Even better, they tend to be quite forgiving when it comes to flavours, if you need to replace one ingredient for another.
For example, if you have no golden syrup, you can easily replace this with honey for your own (aforementioned and below) honey roasted cashews!
Now, although it is July, and not really time to be thinking about Christmas at all, I guess the fact as an Australian who is used to warm, summery Christmases. And now I live in Scotland? It feels like Christmas in July! Alas, it’s a few more months before I can truly start planning my Christmas feasts, gifts and festivities. Yes, if you can’t tell, Christmas is my favourite time of the year.
When is your favourite time of the year?
