Savory Spice Shop Ingredients
Cinnamon, Vietnamese, Saigon Cassia: Ground 1/2 oz bag $1.45
Allspice Berries, Jamaican, Ground 1/2 oz bag $1.35
Vanilla Bean Sugar 4 oz bag $6.75

Ingredients:

Directions:

For bananas, preheat the grill to medium high. In a medium size bowl, mix the sugar, cinnamon and allspice until thoroughly blended. Next, slice the bananas in half length wise. Do not remove the peel. Lay the bananas skin side down and the generously sprinkle the flesh side of the bananas with the spiced sugar. Repeat until all bananas are coated. Place the bananas on the grill, skin side down, and cook until the sugar caramelizes and the skin falls away from the banana.

For nuts, spray a sheet tray with foil and spray with non stick spray. Add vanilla sugar, water, cinnamon, and allspice to a large saucepan over medium high heat. Bring to a boil, then simmer until reduced by half, about 5 minutes. The mixture will start looking dark and thick. Quickly stir in the walnuts to the simmering syrup. Cook in the syrup while stirring until it begins to bubble and thicken. Spread the candy in a single layer to the prepared sheet tray- breaking up large clusters with a wooden spoon. Let cool completely, about 5-10 minutes until the candied harden and the syrup dries.

Serving Suggestions:

Break nuts apart and serve over grilled bananas.  You can keep the bananas in the skin and scoop bites out with a spoon.

Yields:

4 servings

Grilled Spiced Sugar Bananas With Spiced Nuts

“I ordered some spices from your on-line store. The box was bursting with wonderful smells as I repackaged my new spices into bottles. The prices were far better than what I am used to paying at the grocery store. I will certainly be a return customer! Thank you so much, I am glad I found you.”
