SUGAR AND SPICE NUTS 
4 1/2 c. mixed, unsalted nuts
2 c. sugar
1 c. water
Grated rind of 2 oranges
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg

Mix all ingredients together in heavy skillet. Simmer over high heat, stirring constantly, until water evaporates and nuts look sugary (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and pour nuts out on large, greased baking sheet. Using 2 forks, separate them quickly to prevent them from sticking together. Let cook, then store in air-tight container in freezer or refrigerator.
