Smoked Cherry Limeade and Honey Brown Sugar Almonds

[wutang]

After Kyotes post on the smoke cherry lemonade I have been thinking about making something similar. It has also been a while since I made almonds

Here are the cherries and the almonds about to go into the smoker


Almonds after about 45 minutes at 220 degrees burning RO lump and pecan chunks


Put the almonds in a bowl and drizzled some honey over them, stirred until coated and then stirred in a handful of brown sugar. Layed them back out on the sheet.


After another 20 or so minutes so the sugar can melt a little. I stirred them a couple times as they cooled so they would not stick.


Cherries all done. About an hour and a half total time


Split open the cherries and removed the pits. Then smashed the cherries in the bottom of a pitcher before filling with store-bought limeade.


And my snack while I was waiting for some ribs to get done on the drum.

Yeah I got a little left in the pitcher and some vodka in the freezer. Sounds good to me.

Wutang looks awesome. I think the smoked cherrys taste pretty good in lemon or lime aid. the kiddos love it.
got to hard to make. I just hit the bourbon right out of the bottle now. no clean up.lol..

the almonds look sweet. if these contractors ever get done. I am going to fire up the new smoker and try some of the nuts. we have pecans here mostly will have to give them a shot..

just wondering.

has anyone else tried the cherry's smoked. and made either lemoade are limeaid? with the festivitys of the 4th upon us. might be cool. drop of red die, let it settle then a drop of blue, and serve before it settles.

Summertime is coming fast and that with Kyote's most recent smoked cherry drink recipe made me think of this one again.
