1. Pour H2O, sugar, and cashews into a pot large enough that the cashews will be in a single layer.

2. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar and coat the cashews completely. Continue to boil until the liquid is reduced and syrupy. This should take about 7 minutes.

3. In a small bowl, mix a pinch of each spice together. You should end up with about a tablespoon of the mix. When the liquid is almost gone and the cashews appear glossy, sprinkle the spices over the cashews. Stir to coat evenly.

We added our cashews to a salad with lavender goat cheese, grape fruit, and balsamic vinaigrette.
