Yesterday was jerky and today is going to be candy almonds.
Recipe here✓ 2 Tbsp vegetable oil (I used extra light olive oil)
✓ 1 tsp of liquid smoke (optional)
✓ 1 Tbsp finely ground kosher or sea salt (I used my Sriracha Sauce Smoked Salt)
✓ 2 tsp chile powder
✓ 1 tsp ground black pepper (I used the cracked pepper & garlic from my sausage mix)
✓ 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (more if you like hotter)
✓ 1/2 tsp garlic powder
✓ 1 Tbsp of Tatonka Dust
✓ 12 oz. bag of fresh almonds
✓ Pour ground spices into a large bowl, and combine with oil. Mix well. Add almonds and use a rubber spatulas and mix well again so the almonds are well coated.
✓ Place on dehydrator sheet and put dehydrator on the highest setting. Mine only goes to 155 so I set the time for 3 hours.
✓ After 3 hours of drying I coated them with some garlic honey and back into the dehydrator till dry to the touch.
