Candied Bacon Cashews Food

SWEET AND SALTY BACON AND NUTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Cook the bacon over medium heat in a large skillet until brown and crisp, 8 to 9 minutes. Remove the bacon using a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Pour 1/4 cup of the bacon fat on a heavy rimmed baking sheet and spread evenly.
• Beat the egg white and salt until just foamy using a whisk in a medium bowl. Gradually add the sugar and beat until just blended. Add the almonds, walnuts and cayenne pepper. Toss until the nuts are coated.
• Spread the nut mixture in a single layer on the baking sheet. Bake until the nuts are crisp and brown, about 35 minutes, turning and stirring the nut mixture with a metal spatula every 10 to 15 minutes. Cool for 2 hours.
• Transfer the nut mixture to a bowl; add the bacon pieces and toss to blend. This recipe can be prepared 1 day ahead and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

EASY CANDIED CASHEWS

Steps:

• Add the butter to a small saucepan over medium heat and let it melt.
• Add the sugar and cashews.
• Stir the mixture frequently (it burns easily so watch it closely) until the sugar melts and caramelizes over the nuts. Once all the sugar has melted and coated the nuts, they're done.
• Spread them onto a plate or piece of parchment paper so they don't all stick together. Some will clump together, which is fine.
• Allow them to cool then store them in a sealed container.

• Cook bacon for 10 minutes and remove from the oven. Reduce heat to 350 degrees.
• Using a paper towel, blot the oil from the top of the bacon. Spread ½ of the maple syrup over each slice of bacon (you only need a small amount of maple syrup here). Next, sprinkle half of the coconut sugar over the bacon slices, as well as a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.
• Return bacon to the oven and cook for 10 minutes. Remove bacon, flip, and blot the oil from the other side of the bacon. Add another thin layer of maple syrup, coconut sugar, and cayenne pepper. Sprinkle the chopped cashews over the bacon slices.

• Remove the bacon from the oven and allow it to cool on the wire rack until it firms up. (You can move it around a bit while it's still warm so that it doesn't stick to the rack as it cools.) Candied bacon is best served on the day it is made.

CANDIED CASHEWS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the cashews on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Toast the cashews for 10 minutes, or until golden brown. Be sure to watch the cashews carefully so they don't burn! Remove the cashews from the oven and cool. In a saucepan (copper works best), add the sugar and the water. Bring the mixture to a boil. Once the mixture is boiling and the sugar has dissolved, add the cashews. Continue cooking the mixture, stirring constantly. The sugar will thicken, and then become granular again, continue stirring. The sugar will then begin to turn back into a clear liquid. When all of the sugar has turned into a clear liquid, remove the pan from the heat, stirring constantly. Once the sugar begins to turn a golden color, spoon the nuts onto a parchment paper lined sheet pan. Allow to cool.;

MAN CANDY (CANDIED BACON & NUTS) RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Prepare the nuts: In a mixing bowl, stir together all the Candied Nuts ingredients EXCEPT for the pecans and walnuts; add the pecans and walnuts and stir until coated. Set aside. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Prepare the bacon: Place the chopped bacon in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. (I chopped it with kitchen shears.) Place in oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until bacon is about two-thirds done and fat is rendered. Remove bacon with a slotted spatula to paper towels to drain. Remove foil from baking sheet, then line it with parchment paper. Meanwhile, in another bowl, stir together the Candied Bacon ingredients (excluding the cooked bacon); stir in cooked bacon until coated. Add the bacon mixture to the nut mixture, stirring together lightly. Spread the mixture evenly onto the parchment lined baking sheet. Bake for about 15 minutes, or until hot and bubbly and bacon is done. (After it came out of the oven, I used a thin metal spatula to flip the mixture over to evenly distribute the glaze.) Cool in pan on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
