Directions
1½ cups
1. Preheat oven to 325_F.
2. Melt the butter in a medium-size saucepan over low heat. Add the remaining ingredients excepts the nuts and coarse salt. Simmer over low heat for several minutes to combine flavors.
3. Add the nuts and stir until evenly coated. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, shaking the pan occasionally.
4. Toss the nuts with the coarse salt and let cool. Store in an airtight container.
Adding a little spice just before a meal begins is an excellent way to stimulate the taste buds and whet the appetite. We love this recipe made with one favorite nut or a combination of many. We often warm them just a bit in the oven before serving in a ceramic crock, an antique basket, or an art deco silver bowl.
