ReplyDeleteI wonder how this would work with almonds? I'll test it out and let you know. Thanks for another yummy holiday treat.
ReplyDeleteI think it would work fine with pretty much any nut or seed or combo. Let us know your results :)
ReplyDeleteOut of almonds, out of lemon, but had just enough walnuts for the recipe. Delicious! I would never think of using cardamom, but combined with honey, it's delicious! Will gave it 2 thumbs up. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteYum. I made a twist on this and think I'll have to plant some nut trees to keep up with the demands! I did:
ReplyDelete1.5 c. almonds,
1/2 c sunflower seeds,
1/2 c pumpkin seeds
1.5 cup pecans.
2T ghee and 2T coconut oil (because I was running out of ghee!).
Zest of one lemon,
1t cinn, 1/2 t clove, 1/2 nutmeg.
1/2 c. honey.
I sprinkled sea salt and coconut over it as it was cooling on the pan.
YUM!
Thanks for sharing your recipe.
