  • Sweet Almonds and Spicy Cashews

    While I had the smokers going today I also put in some nuts. I smoked some almonds and prepared them the way I usually do. After roasting in the smoker a while, I lightly coated them with honey and dusted with brown sugar. I also smoked some cashews that I coated in Frank's Red Hot sauce and then dusted in cayenne pepper.

    Just after coating and seasoning


    Then put them back in the smoker so the sugars could melt and hot sauce could dry a little. All done


    The spicy cashews rocked! Not too hot, they were about as hot as your average buffalo wings but a good smoky flavor. The almonds were good too.

        Looks great Adam. Like the idea of the honey and brown sugar. Thought about doing that to the next batch of Smoke Freak's spicy pecans. The seasoning doesn't want to stay on real well. It would help hold it there, plus you could add a little more heat and the sweet will balance it out. If you know what I mean.

        How much honey/brown sugar did you use, and does it stick together real bad?

          I moved the almonds to a bowl and drizzled in the honey and stirred, I used just enough honey to lightly coat the almonds. I have made the mistake in the past of using too much and having it burn when it goes back in the smoker. I then added a handful of brown sugar and stirred some more. Sorry I don't have more specific measurements, I just kinda eyeballed it. I do have to stir them a few times as they cool or they would stick together.

                  I love smoked almonds! In all of the years that I have been messing with a smoker, It never occured to me that I could do my own. Boy do I feel stupid now! Thanks for the idea.
