Here a mix of almonds, cloves, and raisins can be a delicious and nutritious snack. Here’s a simple recipe to create this flavorful and satisfying combination:
Ingredients:
1 cup of almonds
1/2 cup of raisins
1/2 teaspoon of ground cloves
1/4 teaspoon of salt (optional)
Instructions:
Roast the Almonds:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spread the almonds on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast the almonds in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until they become fragrant and slightly golden. Keep a close eye on them to prevent burning.
Once roasted, remove the almonds from the oven and allow them to cool completely. This enhances their flavor.
Prepare the Raisins:
If your raisins are not already soft and plump, you can soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes to rehydrate them. Drain and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Combine Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the roasted almonds, raisins, and ground cloves.
If you like a hint of sweetness and a bit of contrast, you can also add a pinch of salt to taste, although this is entirely optional.
Mix and Store:
Gently toss all the ingredients together until the cloves are evenly distributed and the almonds and raisins are well combined.
Serve:
Your almond, cloves, and raisin mix is ready to serve. You can portion it into small snack-sized bags or containers for easy, on-the-go snacking.
