Recipe type: Appetizer
Serves: 1 pound
Ingredients
  • 1 pound raw cashews
  • ¼ cup raw honey
  • 1 Tablespoon butter or coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • Extra sugar (rapadura) or sea salt for sprinkling nuts after baking, as desired (this is optional, I use the salt because I like the combo of the sweet/salty flavor)
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 250F. Line a large baking sheet (or two smaller ones) with parchment paper, set aside.
  2. Measure out the honey, butter, and sea salt into a glass measuring cup; set aside.
  3. In a small saucepan, one big enough that the glass measuring cup will fit into, bring a small amount of water (just an inch or two) to a simmer. Place the glass measuring cup, filled with the honey-butter-salt, inside the pan of simmering water. Keep the heat on low, and stir until the honey and butter are thoroughly melted.
  4. Remove melted honey-butter from the pan of water. Mix the honey-butter mixture and the cashews together until thoroughly coated. Turn the coated nuts out onto the prepared baking sheet(s).
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring several times in-between. The nuts will be a deep golden color and still slightly sticky. Remove from oven, give a stir to break up any clumps, sprinkle with any extra sugar or salt as desired, and stir once more.
  6. Let cool completely on parchment-covered baking sheet.
Notes
Makes 1-pound of nuts.
