Ginger, curry, candied almonds

Delicious and festive!

Yields 4 cups

1lb raw unpeeled almonds
4 tbsp butter
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp curry powder
1/2” piece ginger, peeled and grated
1/4 cayenne
Kosher salt to taste

Heat oven to 350 F
Spread the almonds on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes; set aside.
Heat the butter, brown sugar, curry powder, ginger and cayenne pepper in a 2 qt saucepan over medium heat; cook, stirring until the sugar has dissolved, about 5 minutes.
Pour the glaze over the nuts, stirring to coat evenly, return to the oven and cook until slightly dry, about 15 minutes more.
Sprinkle with salt and let cool before serving
