Equipment

  • 1 Large Nonstick Skillet
  • Parchment Paper

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon Maple Syrup
  • 1 tablespoon Rosemary slightly crushed
  • 1 teaspoon Water
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt
  • 2 cups Walnut Halves
  • ½ cup Pecan Halves
  • 1 ½ cup Dried Cranberries
  • 1 ½ cup Roasted Pumpkin Seeds
  • 1 cup Roasted Salted Pepitas
  • 1 cup Roasted Salted Sunflower Seeds

Instructions

  • In a large pot, whisk together maple syrup, rosemary, water, and salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. (We tend to do this over a campfire, but you can do it over a stove!)
  • Once it starts to simmer, add the walnuts and pecan halves, stir well to coat the nuts and seeds.
  • Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until any liquid is dried up and everything is glazed.
    Remove from heat and spread the transfer glazed nuts on a large baking sheet or piece of parchment paper, separating any clusters.
  • Once fully cool, combine with the cranberries, pumpkin seeds, Pepitas, and sunflower seeds.
  • Transfer to an airtight container for storage, or portion out into smaller containers. We’ll usually measure ½ cup amounts into snack size Ziplock baggies.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature - out of direct sunlight - for up to 3 months.
