"For a not-so-spicy version, use half the amount of curry powder and cayenne, Raw, unsalted cashews are available at bulk and health food stores. I like to give these away in 1/2 cup amounts in little plastic bags tied with attractive ribbons. Be sure to label them "spicy"." In medium saucepan, combine corn syrup with water and spices. Bring to a boil. Stir in the nuts. Spread on cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil and bake 1 hour at 275ºF. Stir every 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool 20 minutes.
