Hot Spiced Nuts

This is a very simple recipe, yet it adds a bit of class to an otherwise lackluster bowl of nuts. You can use mixed nuts or, for some real decadence, use fancy cashews.

2T        Fresh Rosemary, minced

2t         Brown Sugar

1T        Kosher Salt

½ - 1 t     Cayenne (This is according to your taste)

1T        Butter

1½ lb.  Cashews

As with most recipes, these quantities are just a suggestion. Tinker with it so it suits your taste!

Heat nuts in a skillet until the oils start to ooze. Empty into a bowl. Combine dry ingredients. Melt butter in the skillet. Add dry ingredients and mix. Then add nuts and mix well. Turn off heat. Spread on a cookie sheet to cool individually so the nuts don't clump.
