Caramelized nuts are a classic sweet-and-savory snack, prized for their crisp texture and toasted aroma. In this
recipe, SHO – Concentrated Light Stock is incorporated into a glaze of cane sugar, sherry vinegar, water, and
neutral oil before the nuts are roasted. The stock enhances the nuts’ natural savory character and adds an umami
dimension that balances the caramelized sweetness, creating a versatile garnish or a base for a savory nut
praline.
