Orange ginger almonds

A few weeks ago I shared with you one of the perks of being involved in a food blog. This week let me enlighten you with the second reason. Recipe testing. One of my co-workers showed up to the office earlier this week with a little tub of roasted almonds from Whole Foods. Orange ginger almonds to be exact. We all gathered around her desk to sample the almonds. We marvelled over their roasty taste, their sweet crunch, the spicy ginger and tangy orange flavours. We looked at the ingredients, wrote them all down, discussed some tactics for making the nuts and finally I was challenged to recreate the recipe and post it.

Not one to back down from a challenge, I accepted and here we are. Since I am not the recipe creating queen, through a quick google search I was lucky enough to find that just about everyone and their dog is in love with Whole Foods orange ginger almonds. There where recipes galore and I even found the original recipe. Problem is, they are all different. Some called for egg whites, some for honey, some for sugar, some were baked in the oven, others on the stove top!

It was all too tricky for me, I needed a distraction. So I saddled up to the computer and ordered myself a new pair of running shoes. With the shoes ordered, I was ready to make some decisions. Honey, salt and baked on lower heat for longer.
