Ingredients
- 2 cups raw almonds
- 3 tablespoons crystallized ginger
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 cup dried apricots
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Roughly chop the crystallized ginger into small pieces. Halve or quarter the dried apricots, depending on their size.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the honey, ground ginger, cinnamon, and sea salt, stirring until well combined and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the almonds to the saucepan, tossing to coat them with the glaze evenly.
Step 5
Pour the glazed almonds onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading them into a single layer.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the almonds are golden and fragrant.
Step 7
Remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool slightly for 5-7 minutes.
Step 8
Transfer the almonds to a mixing bowl and toss them with the chopped crystallized ginger, dried cranberries, and dried apricots until evenly distributed.
Step 9
Allow the mixture to cool completely. Once cooled, store the Ginger Glazed Almonds with Dried Fruit in an airtight container for up to one week.
