Harvest Trail Mix

¼ cup pure maple syrup

1½ tsp pumpkin pie spice

⅛ tsp sea salt

⅔ cup pecan halves

⅓ cup pepitas (or roasted pumpkin seeds)

⅓ cup sunflower seeds

⅓ cup sliced almonds

⅓ cup dried cherries

⅓ cup B & R Farms Dried Apricots

¼ cup golden raisins

⅓ cup cinnamon chips (optional) 

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Add maple syrup to a large sauce pan and heat over medium-high heat until just beginning to boil.
• Stir in pumpkin pie spice, salt, and nuts and cook, stirring frequently, until the nuts have caramelized and the syrup has reduced. About 3-5 minutes.
• Spread mixture in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet and let cool completely. The candied nuts will harden as they cool.
