Cinnamon Coated Nuts
1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon salt
16 ounces nuts
Any type of nuts may be used, cashews, pecans, almonds, hazelnuts, etc. Each type of nut after being coated will have a slightly different taste.
Spray a cookie sheet with Pam cooking spray. In a medium saucepan combine sugar, water and cinnamon. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla, salt and nuts. Using a slotted spoon, place nuts on prepared cookie sheet. Separate each nut with a fork. Allow to dry 3 hours, turning once half way through drying. Dry about 3 hours. Store in an air tight container.
