SRC: Moroccan-Spiced Nuts {Orphan Rescue}

I'm on Orphan-detail again today for the Secret Recipe Club and I am very excited about having been introduced to Jen at Jen's Journey. Not only does she have gobs of recipes, she writes about motherhood, homeschooling, marriage, and her life in general.

Looking through her recipes, I was reminded how much I love spiced nuts...and how easy they are to make. I happened to have many cups of almonds from a friend's orchard, so that made my decision an easy one.


These were adapted from the Jen's Spiced Nuts recipe. I went a little wild with the spices, making more of a Moroccan-inspired version. And, since I had a ton of nuts, I tripled her recipe.

3 egg whites
6 C nuts
1 C organic sugar
2 T Moroccan spice blend*
salt to taste

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Beat egg whites until soft and foamy. Combine all remaining ingredients except the nuts; whisk into egg white. Stir in nuts until well coated; spread mixture in single layer onto an baking pan lined with parchment paper.

Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from oven. Using a metal spatula, toss, stir, and separate nuts. Reduce oven to 250 degrees and return nuts to bake until medium brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from oven; toss, and stir again.

Place a wire cookie tray inside another baking pan and transfer your nuts to that wire tray to cool off. Break into single nuts once they have cooled all the way.

Jen suggests putting them on top of your favorite salad. Me, I just eat them as a snack by the handful. Enjoy!

*Moroccan Spice Blend (makes 2 tablespoons)
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves

  3. Of course we never want orphans in SRC, but the perk is we get to "met" some new bloggers from other groups. I love love spiced nuts but haven't made them for awhile - can't wait to try your spice combo here :) Thanks for being a orphan rescuer this month!

  8. Can't have too many seasoned nut recipes. These look terrific, would make a terrific hostess gift because I'd need to get rid of them or risk eating them all myself!

Quick Pickled Red Onions and Radishes

If you've been reading my blog for even a short amount of time, you probably know how much I love to pickle things. I was just telling a friend you can pickle - with vinegar - or you can ferment - with salt - for similar delicious effect. The latter has digestive benefits and I love to do that, but when I need that pop of sour flavor quickly, I whip up quick pickles that are ready in as little as a day or two. I've Pickled Blueberries , Pickled Asparagus , Pickled Cranberries , Pickled Pumpkin , and even Pickled Chard Stems ! This I did last night for an upcoming recipe challenge that requires I include radishes. Ummmm...of course I'm pickling them! Ingredients  makes 1 quart jar radishes, trimmed and sliced organic red onions, peeled and thinly sliced (I used a mandolin slicer) 3/4 C vinegar (I used white distilled vinegar) 3/4 C water 3 T organic granulated sugar 1 T salt (I used some grey sea salt) 6 to 8 grinds of black pepper Proce
