Combine butter, sugar, water and almonds in a non-stick pan over medium heat.
Bring to a boil and stir.
The mixture should reach a golden brown colour.
Add corn syrup.
Remove from heat and add dried cranberries and spiced rum. This will sizzle.
Stir quickly and pour onto a prepared pan with parchment paper.
Combine white sugar and coconut sugar and sprinkle over the top.
Sprinkle coconut next and then nutmeg.
Cool and break pieces off into all sizes.
This freezes well in an air-tight container. Line layers with wax paper.
For our traditional recipe version leave cranberries, spiced rum, and coconut out. Sprinkle sugar over top. You can also replace the corn syrup with honey.
Also you can leave the butter out, I add it for colour.
