Cinnamon Raisin And Toasted Nut Spread Food

CINNAMON RAISIN-NUT TOFFEE

Steps:

• Combine the nuts, vanilla, cinnamon and cloves in a bowl. Lightly butter a rimmed baking sheet.
• Heat the sugar in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until it just begins to melt. Cook, swirling the pan but not stirring, until most of the sugar has melted, about 10 minutes. Add the butter and cook, swirling the pan, until the mixture is deep amber and a candy thermometer registers 300 degrees F, about 7 more minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in the nut mixture, then the raisins. Pour onto the prepared baking sheet and spread with a rubber spatula. Let cool completely, then break into pieces.

CINNAMON SPREAD

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, add the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg; stir until well blended.
• Spread on toast, bagels, biscuits, and my personal favorite--pumpkin bread.

CINNAMON RAISIN TOAST WITH HONEY-WALNUT SPREAD

Steps:

• Toast the walnuts in a dry skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently until fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Allow them to cool slightly, then chop finely.
• In a small bowl, add the chopped walnuts to the yogurt and honey and stir until well combined. The spread will keep in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for up to 3 days - just stir well before using.
• Toast the bread and cut the fruit into 1/4-inch slices. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the spread on each slices. Top each piece with a few slices of fruit.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, maple syrup, lemon zest, cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix until creamy and smooth.
• Stir in the raisins and nuts. Cover well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.
