Organic Mesquite Honey Almonds

I love almonds and hope you will too!

ORGANIC MESQUITE HONEY ALMONDS WITH FLOR DE SAL!

So easy to make and the perfect treat to enjoy as a Gluten Free snack any time of the day. Make them as a gift or bring them to a party to serve with drinks!

The honey is from the native organically managed mesquite forest of Northern Peru. Its slightly smoky flavor gives the almonds a perfectly sweet bite. The sea salt ... just a little goes a long way to enhance the blend of flavors and accentuate the caramel creation from the roasting.

This recipe will serve a small gathering for 4-6 people.

Ingredients

2 cups Organic raw almonds

2 Tbs butter

2 Tbs Zócalo Gourmet - Organic Mesquite Honey

a pinch or 2 Matiz - Flor de Sal - Sea Salt

Tools

fry pan

spatula or tongs

parchment paper

baking sheet

cooling rack

Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.

Place the butter in a fry pan and turn the heat to medium-high. Once the butter begins to melt add the almonds.  Toss the almonds so that they are all covered in the butter and let them cook for 3-4 minutes.  Reduce the heat to medium and add the honey.  Toss the almonds to make sure they are evenly coated.  Cook for 1-2 minutes.  Turn off heat. 

Place a sheet of parchment paper on the baking pan.  Pour the butter and honey coated almonds on to the baking pan.  Spread the almonds out in a layer, allowing the almonds to touch to create clusters. Bake in the oven for 15-17 minutes. The aroma is absolutely amazing! Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes.  Add the sprinkles of Flor de Sal or Sea Salt. Let cool at least 1hour before serving. 

If there are any left over Organic Mesquite Honey Almonds with Flor de Sal ...

not likely ...

wrap them in the parchment paper and then in a self sealing bag or glass container, in a cool place, away from heat. Depending on the weather, humidity, they may get a little stickier ... is that such a bad thing?

Salud!
