Spiced Cashews and Cranberries

I saw this recipe on the Food Network, and tried it with almonds. It was really tasty, but my mom is a bigger fan of cashews, so I tried it again with those instead, and with a little clove and nutmeg added to the spice mix. Fantastic and rather addictive!!

 Ingredients

• 3/4 stick unsalted butter 
• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
•  1 tablespoon maple syrup 
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 
• 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice 
• 2 cups dried cranberries 
• 3 cups almonds 
• 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes 

Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Melt butter, brown sugar, and maple syrup in large pot over medium heat. Stir in cinnamon and pumpkin pie spice. Add cranberries, almonds, and coconut flakes and stir to combine. Spread mixture on greased cookie sheet. Bake 20 minutes or until mixture is crunchy and lightly browned. Transfer to a bowl when cooled and serve.
