HONEYED ALMONDS WITH CINNAMON, NUTMEG AND FIVE SPICE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a baking tray with lightly oiled baking parchment. Mix the sugar and salt in a large bowl and set aside.
• Melt the honey in a frying pan over a low heat. Add the almonds and spices and stir to coat. Transfer the nuts to the baking tray and spread them out in a single layer. Bake for 10-15 mins until golden brown, scraping the nuts from the side to the centre from time to time so they cook and colour evenly.
• Remove from the oven and cool slightly for 5 mins until the nuts become sticky, then toss them in the sugar and salt mixture. Cool completely, then divide them between cellophane bags.
