Ingredients
Steps
- 1Toast the almonds, pistachios, walnuts, cashews, and pine nuts in a dry pan over low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Pine nuts brown fast — watch carefully.
- 2Let them cool completely (important — otherwise the dates and raisins will sweat from the residual heat).
- 3In a large bowl, combine the toasted nuts with the dates, raisins, and cinnamon (if using). Toss well.
- 4Store in a sealed jar. Keeps for 2 weeks at room temperature or a month in the fridge.
Tips
💡Buy raw nuts, not pre-salted or pre-roasted — toasting them yourself is a simple step that guarantees pure flavor with no additives.
💡Play with the ratios — if you love dates, make them half the mix; if you prefer nuts, flip the proportion.
