Spiced Nuts

This recipe can be made several months ahead and stored in the freezer and will keep well for a week in an air tight container in the refrigerator.  The recipe is not too spicy…you could always add a little hot sauce if you felt the need to add some heat.  From Food and Drink Holiday 2000.

2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
2 tbsp granulated sugar
2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dried leaf oregano
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 cup each pecan halves, macadamia nuts, blanched almonds and cashews about 500 g (mix in whatever your favourites are)


  1. Preheat oven to 350F.  In a large bowl, stir butter with Worchestershire, sugar and spices until mixed.  Add nuts and mix well until evenly coated with spice mixture.
  2. Turn onto a baking sheet, spread to form a single layer.  Bake in oven 8 to 10 minutes stirring 3 to 4 times during baking.  Turn into a bowl, taste and adjust seasoning.
