Recipe - Candied Spiced Mixed Nuts

1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
4 cup Salted mixed nuts
2/3 cup Strawberry jelly
2 tablespoon Paprika
2 teaspoon Cumin

SUGAR COATING
One half cup Brown sugar
1 teaspoon Paprika
1 teaspoon Cumin

Lightly oil a large stainless steel bowl. Place nuts inside. Set aside. In
a small saucepan melt the strawberry jelly over medium heat. Add the
paprika and cumin. Cook the mixture to the hard ball stage (260 degrees
measured on a candy thermometer. You can test for the hard ball stage by
dropping a teaspoon of the mixture into a glass of iced water. The mixture
will instantly harden).

Immediately pour the mixture over the nuts. Stir with a wooden spoon to
evenly coat the nut mixture. Allow the mixture to cool for five minutes.
Once it is cool enough to handle, sprinkle the nuts with the brown sugar
coating. Stir to combine.

Let cool completely, then pack into decorative, airtight tines.

Variations: Use Orange Marmalade in place of the Strawberry Jelly.
