Ingredients
- ½ cup sugar
- 1/3 cup water
- 3 Tbs maple syrup
- 1 cup almonds
- ¾ tsp salt
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- ¼ tsp paprika
- 1/8 cayenne pepper ¼ tsp

Instructions
- In a medium-sized pot add the water, sugar, and maple and bring to a simmer.
- Cook for about 5 minutes until the water has dissolved and the syrup has started to thicken slightly.
- Add the nuts and continue cooking stirring regularly until the liquid eventually evapourates and the sugar crystallizes into a solid form.
- Keep the pot on a low heat until the sugar dissolves again. At this point add all the spices and the chopped rosemary. Stir to ensure its thoroughly coated for a minute or so.
- Spread the candied nuts onto a tray lined with paper and allow to cool. Add a sprinkle of rosemary leaves and sea salt to garnish.
- Store in a sealed jar.
