A healthy mixture of nuts, seeds, and maple syrup make for a satisfying snack. Warm spices combined with cranberries give this treat a fall flavour.

Maple Spiced Snack Mix

Course: Appetizer
Cuisine: Cinnamon, Nutmeg & Cloves

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup raw hulled pumpkin seeds
  • 1/2 cup raw almonds
  • 1 cup dried cranberries
  • 1.5 tbsp canola oil
  • 3 tbsp PURE Infused Maple Syrup – Cinnamon, Nutmeg & Cloves
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 300F.
  • In a big bowl, toss the pumpkin seeds and almonds with the oil and spread out on a cookie sheet in a single layer.  Toast for 15-20 minutes, don’t let the almonds get too dark.
  • Remove from the oven and return to the bowl, add the dried fruit, and toss to combine.  Sprinkle with cinnamon and salt, and drizzle with maple syrup.  Toss to thoroughly combine.
  • Return to the cookie sheet and spread the mixture out in a single layer to cool before packaging.

Cinnamon, Nutmeg & Cloves

There’s something special about baking spices: they’re evocative, they’re sensory, and of course, they’re delicious in just about everything Grandma makes. So naturally, we couldn’t think of a better way to honour that memory than with a PURE maple syrup infused with cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves. These warm spices heighten the magic of maple syrup and are well suited to any number of culinary pursuits – traditional baking, ciders and teas, and even some exotic North African and Middle Eastern dishes, where the interplay of sweet and savoury are essential.
