SUGAR & SPICE NUTS

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon (I use very heaping measurement of cinnamon)

Combine all above in large saucepan and cook over low/medium heat to 236 degrees (soft ball stage)

Pour in 2 1/2 (I use almost 3 cups) nuts and stir hard until mixture is creamy (looks sugary). Pour onto waxed paper and separate into clumps with 2 forks.

Original recipe called for walnuts but I like pecans.
I have made this recipe using a mixture of all the nuts I could find.

Thank you Wren!!!!

I'll be going to the grocery sometime this weekend making my grocery list now... pecan pie and sugar & spice nuts!!!

I'm finished the cutest knitted sweater for my darling grandaughter.

I'm looking out the window at beautiful blue sky and lovely fall coloured landscape!

I'm making cabbage rolls for Sunday dinner (and boy, Goofy, can I relate to the Mom thing - I've invited her but don't really want to... sigh....) with family.

I'm painting unique rocks with clear nailpolish.

I'm cleaning up and all that fun house stuff!

I'm doing washing.

AND in about one hour (1 pm Pacific) - I'm going to be sitting at my computer screen watching the Sweet Adeline Convention Competition and cheer on the top 10 Choruses from around the world. If you've got nothing to do - check it out - you'll be blown away:

(they will be on just after 3 pm Pacific) - boy do I wish I was there! (in Nashville) but I chose to move away... so I just live vicariously now
