Ingredients
2 cups cashews
1-1/2 c sugar
3/4 cup water
Pinch saffron
Directions
- Grind cashews in small batches using dry grinder (or coffee grinder), to a coarse powder
- Prepare sugar and water syrup, by heating over medium high to a boil. Lower heat to medium and add saffron. Heat syrup to 1-thread consistency (place a small amount of syrup between thumb and forefinger and pull fingers apart. If a single thread forms between fingers without breaking then syrup is done). Syrup should take about 10 minutes. Alternately, heat syrup to 225 F using a candy thermometer.
- Roast cashew powder on low heat in a medium frying pan for 3-4 minutes, to warm. Be careful not to overcook or nuts will release their oil.
- Add syrup to cashew powder. Mix well and cook for 2-3 minutes until mixture thickens and does not stick to sides of pan.
- Pour into a plate greased with vegetable oil or non-stick cooking spray and spread evenly. Set aside to cool.
- Cut into squares or diamond shapes.
