Step by Step Method
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350F (180C or gas mark 4).
Step 2
In a bowl toss the almonds, butter, sugar, and Cajun seasoning (Cajun seasoning substitute: 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper and 1/4 teaspoon white pepper).
Step 3
Pour the nut and spice mixture onto a rimmed baking sheet. Roast, stirring occasionally until nuts are one shade darker - about 25 minutes. *Note - the time may be less if you are using almonds that are already roasted.
Step 4
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with salt; stir. Set aside to cool. When cool toss the nuts with the cranberries.
Step 5
Will last 1 week at room temperature and up to 3 months in the freezer.
