Hot And Spicy Nuts

Directions

1. 1. Preheat oven to 325_F.
2. 2. Heat the butter in a medium-size saucepan over low heat. Add in the remaining ingredients excepts the nuts and coarse salt. Simmer over low heat for several min to combine flavors.
3. 3. Add in the nuts and stir till proportionately coated. Spread on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 20 min, shaking the pan occasionally.
4. 4. Toss the nuts with the coarse salt and let cold. Store in an airtight container.
5. 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 possibly a combination of many. We often hot them just a bit in the oven before serving in a ceramic crock, an antique basket, or possibly an art deco silver bowl.
