 |
|
|
| Ingredients: |
3 cups whole roasted salted cashews (19 ounces) [$11.99]
2 cups whole walnut halves (7 ounces) [$5.49]
2 cups whole pecan halves (7 ounces) [$7.99]
1/2 cup whole almonds (9.5 ounces) [$5.99]
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
|

4 tablespoons fresh (or 2 tablespoons dried) rosemary leaves, divided
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
2 Tablespoons EVOO
Crisco

|
| Procedures: |
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Brush 2 jelly roll pans generously with Crisco.
Combine the nuts, 2 tablespoons of EVOO, the maple syrup, brown sugar, orange juice, and chipotle powder in a large bowl.
Toss to coat the nuts evenly. Add 1/2 the rosemary and 2 teaspoons of salt and toss again.
Spread the nuts in one layer and roast the nuts for 21 minutes, stirring twice with a large metal spatula, until the nuts are glazed and golden brown.
Remove from the oven, dump into a large mixing bowl, and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 the rosemary.
Toss well, frequently, to prevent sticking as they cool. Taste for seasoning.
Serve warm or cool completely and store in airtight containers at room temperature.

2017-01-02: delayed until after Christmas, we had 4 pint containers; three for neighbors and one for us.
2015-12-17: A half-batch for Christmas.
