Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/4 cup honey and 1/2 cup curry paste. Stir continuously until the honey is fully melted and mixed with the curry paste.
- Add the minced garlic to the honey-curry mixture and stir well. Remove from heat.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup almonds, 1 cup peanuts, 1 cup cashews, and 1 cup macadamias.
- Pour the honey-curry mixture over the mixed nuts. Use a spatula or large spoon to thoroughly coat each nut.
- Spread the coated nuts evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are in a single layer to ensure even roasting.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through to prevent burning. The nuts should be golden brown and fragrant.
- Once the nuts are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Transfer the nuts back to the large mixing bowl, then add 1 cup raisins and 1/3 cup dried shredded coconut meat. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Let the spiced nut mix cool completely. The honey will harden slightly as it cools, helping to keep the mixture together.
- Once cooled, store the mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness. It will keep well at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
