Crockpot Cinnamon Almonds


Crock Pot Cinnamon Almonds

Great holiday gift idea!



Crock Pot Cinnamon Almonds:


Ingredients:

1 1/2 C. Sugar
1 1/2 C. Brown Sugar
3 Tbsp. Cinnamon
1/8 tsp. Salt
1 Egg White
2 tsp. vanilla
3 Cups Almonds
1/4 C. Water

Directions:
In a medium sized bowl, mix together sugars, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside. In another medium sized bowl, whisk the egg white and vanilla until it’s a little frothy. Add almonds. Make sure the almonds are thoroughly coated in the egg white mixture. Add cinnamon mixture to the almonds and toss until coated.

Thoroughly spray with the stoneware of your crock pot with non-stick cooking spray and add the mixture of almonds and sugars.

Cook on low ( with the lid on) 3-4 hours stirring every 20 minutes. In the last hour, add the 1/4 C. of water and stir well. This ensures a crunchy yummy coating. (*make sure after you’ve added the water that you continue to cook the nuts for another 45 minutes to an hour.)

You have to stir really well, especially as it gets later in the cooking process.

Line a baking sheet with parchment and spread the almonds flat to cool. The almonds will be sticky at this point, so make sure you separate them a little and have no large mounds.



Enjoy!

Sprinkle the Delightfulls Morsels evenly over the Jam.

Stuffed Cabbage

I make a great Vegetarian version of Shepherd's Pie and when I saw this recipe it reminded me of it. I like the option of the Cabbage instead of topping Shepherd's Pie with Mashed Potatoes. I will still make it with Potatoes too. I simply copied and pasted this recipe so I could legally have the incredible Photo of the final dish.

As a Vegetarian I will replace the Meat items with a Meatless Ground and use a Vegetarian Beef Stock. Other than that I will make it as directed. 

I'm also a huge fan of Food 52. I once tested a dessert recipe for them.
