Curried Almonds and Sugar Almonds

More recipes that I was able to get from Shirley after the Penokie family Christmas last weekend. There were might tasty and from the sounds of it, pretty easy to make!


Curried Almonds

Mix together:
2T Melted Butter
1T Curry Powder
½ t Seasoned Salt

In the crock pot put

1 pound raw Almonds (recipe calls for blanched almonds, but I couldn't find any, so I used raw almonds from the health food store)

Pour the butter mixture over the almonds, mix to coat

Cover, cook on low for 2-3 hours
Turn pot to high, uncover, cook for 1 to 1½ hours.


Sugared Almonds

In a heavy skillet mix

¼ cup sugar
¾ cup almonds (whole, sliced or slivered-the sliced one make a great salad topping)

Cook and stir (my silicone spatula worked nicely) over low heat until the sugar melts and the nuts are coated.

Cool on waxed paper.

You can add some spices to the sugar if you'd like, changes the taste a bit.
I'm going to try this with vanilla sugar next time.

1 Point Muffins

Contributed by Lynn (WWW Board)

1 can pumpkin (not pie mix)
1 box cake mix
1 1/4C water

Mix well and place in muffin liners. Bake at 350 for 18-20min.

I only got 33 out of this batch but the recipe builder spit out 1pt for 33 so I'll take it. If I was a little more light handed at the start I probably could have squeezed out the 3 extra. I used yellow cake mix for the first time and it's good, sweeter than spice but yummy. Enjoy! (I have a guilt free conscious knowing they are truly 1pt) :-)
