killer nuts!!

laserdoc85

I smoked almonds and pecans for 5 hours and they have been sealed up in a zip locked bag to mellow out and absorb the smokey flavor for 7 days. Finished them a crock pot with this reciepe. Instead of a 1/4 cup of water at the end I used brandy. Best recipes I have found and everything sticks to them!!!! Try it it is a winner!!!

That looks like a winner. I've smoked almonds using the recipe in Charcuterie, and loved it. But I've also wanted to make sweet ones. Will give this a try.

@laserdoc85 - what temp did you smoke them at.  Those look awfully good.  My family loves smoked almonds (we call them meat nuts) .

It was a cold smoke so maybe around 90 to 100

@laserdoc85 - Starting these tomorrow. For the recipe you linked, did you do 2 or 3 cups of almonds? Did you find that to be the right amount? I picked up 18 cups of to do. These will make some yummy Christmas gifts.

Actually I did about 2 cups of pecans and two cups of almonds. Instead of a cup and a half of the sugars I would do a cup or a cup and 1/4 of the brown and the white. It is all good !!

Definitely going to try this.

Last question laserdoc (I think). What did you do with them once you took them out of the croc pot? My guess would be to spread them on a baking tray or something to cool. Thanks again.

Yes that's what I did. I put them on a cookie sheet and stuck them outside for about a half hour,took a chill and all harder up. All is good

Could you still taste the smoke flavor of the nuts even with the sugary coating?

laserdoc85

Yes
